Death is a natural thing that everyone has to go through at the end of life. There are deaths that are very peaceful and peaceful, but there are also deaths that bring pain and suffering to the subject. Death from starvation, death from being eaten, death from falling into a volcano… is one of the most painful types of death for people both physically and mentally.

Water is an essential element for the body. You cannot live more than three days without water. The process of dying from dehydration is very and painful. Thirst will drive you crazy. However, on the third day, if you don’t have water, your body will overheat and the liver and kidneys will stop working.
This was a form of torture in the Middle Ages. They often used a chariot or car with a rope tied around the hands or feet of the tortured person and dragged their body along the road. Most people who have endured this torture rarely survive. Photo: Achilles.
Being stoned to death was a common form of punishment in ancient times. Today, it is practiced in the Middle East, Africa and Indonesia. Usually, a group of people would repeatedly throw large stones at the person being executed until they died.
For many of us, eating is a blessing every day. It is a necessity of life. Because of that, the idea of starving to death is so bad, in an unavoidable situation, there is nothing to say but there are people who have committed suicide thanks to this method. The suffering will increase every day and you will even feel so terrible that you no longer want to die.
First of all, an organism can live to 60 days or longer without food (not counting water and other fluids). After less than a week, your body will begin to have dangerous symptoms such as burning all the fat used to store energy. Immediately after that, the liver will be disordered, the toxins in the body will be raging. Within 1 month you will lose about 18% of your body weight. And after that point you will just pray for every second and every minute to go by so quickly. Unfortunately, the period of suffering will continue for another 30-40 days (if you really intend to fast to death).
It must be said that this is one of the most painful and exhausting methods.

In this case, their assumption is that there is almost no food, no rescue or any miracle happening. Death is just a matter of time.
Compared to being adrift at sea, being hungry is a lot more fortunate. At sea, you will lose water, lack food and drink, endure the heat of the day and frostbite at night … Just thinking about it is horrible.
Through many stories of people who have experienced, being at sea is a series of days of deprivation, hopelessness and very dangerous. Maybe you will not die from exhaustion but be attacked by vicious fishes of the sea, the pain of the sea salt bites will be the greatest torment. All of those problems are just the most basic dangers of being at sea, but perhaps enough for us to understand why it is on this terrible list.
Just by hearing it, I knew the end could be nothing but death. In fact, many action or fiction films end up with bad people falling into a volcano, lava flows, etc., which is like an implicit affirmation of the subject’s poor fate. Most TV viewers will feel it is a quick and painless death. But that’s not necessarily the case.
For example, falling into the Gollum volcano, because of the relative density of lava, you will not be swallowed like when you throw a pebble in water, but will float to the surface of that lava and slowly burn . Overall pretty terrible though this should be quick (though not as fast as people think). Scientists proved this theory by throwing a 30kg bag of organic food into a lava stream. Perhaps the pain would be unspeakably terrible if one fell into the lava flow.
In the present era, this form may not be as popular as in feudal or medieval times, but in fact it still exists in underdeveloped areas. The scary thing here is that suddenly you have to die as a sacrifice to the gods, to heaven and earth, to pray for rain, to pray for wind… Imagine you are at peace and for some reason like sowing hexagrams or sowing hexagrams. only miscellaneous points where you return the offering . The form of death is equally an obsession. There are simple and quick sacrifices, but there are also cases of brutal torture such as cutting off a part of the body, cremating, hanging on the altar in front of the crowd… In general, it’s all just to serve comfort. spiritual satisfaction.
If you are in a plane in a falling position, it can be said that you are certain of death. At an altitude of thousands of meters, the mood of the passengers on the malfunctioning plane can only be described with one word: “desperation”.
Most people will say goodbye to life because of a strong impact, but there are also many people who will die from heart attacks, strokes and all sorts of other problems while the plane is still in the sky. With a high speed when diving, you can pass out from sudden lack of oxygen and experience a series of nausea, your head wants to burst, your body is struggling with pain . The worst part of this incident is that everyone’s panic will spread to each other quickly, you will have to end your life in screams, screams and cries all around. Very scary indeed.
Although we humans may be the highest level animals, in terms of physical strength and “wildness” , we are still behind many species. There is also the risk of being torn apart. You can be eaten in the forest, in the sea, in the desert or deep in the mountains. Mostly being eaten and excruciatingly painful. Especially with some species. Typically, the American jaguar , unlike some of their feline relatives such as lions and tigers, will kill the victim by biting the temporal bone area. And pop! The first thing that will be attacked will be your brain.
Not inferior to the leopard is the hyena . The characteristic of this filthy animal is to keep food to eat gradually. They will attack until the prey collapses and begins to eat gradually. It’s that they just need their prey no longer able to fight back, they don’t care if they’re alive or not. So it would be terrible if you weren’t seriously injured but slowly died from the hyenas’ claws.
Another very scary species is the anaconda – the legendary python of the Americas. They will make our heart stop beating because of lack of oxygen. Then we will be swallowed and slowly digested. Death by the claws of animals is not easy.
“Crushing” is a scary concept. If you die from this cause, perhaps you should sympathize with you when the body will not be intact. Not even in shape anymore. Until then, you will feel that being eaten by an animal is still lucky.
However, sometimes animals also play a part in crushing humans. Large animals such as elephants, for example, at the end of the 19th century were still used as means of crushing people (slaves, prisoners). First, the criminals will be tied to the elephant’s legs and taken around the street. Eventually they will kneel down, put their heads on a rock, and the elephant will do justice with its feet.
Many people imagine that being frozen will be just like a hibernation. Please tell me that’s not true, it’s terrible. Being stomped by an elephant is terrible, but it’s still quicker than freezing to death. The suffering here is a combination of a painful and slow death.
A normal body has a temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius, when the temperature starts to drop, we will shiver and feel uncomfortable. When heat is not supplied, human muscles become paralyzed and cannot do anything at all. Gradually you will experience excruciating pain, the organs will gradually become unable to function and the brain will still be in a state of thinking. It will all come to an end in the end.
This list cannot be complete without the subject of torture. Almost all of the above methods of death can be used in torture. They are even combined. In the old society, torture was more common, frequent, and barbaric. However, it can be affirmed that modern times are not lacking in monstrous torture methods and bring about an extremely painful death.
When it comes to brutal torture, we must mention the Persian Empire , the medieval barracks. One of the popular methods is to confine the subject for several days in a room full of ashes. Death will come when their lungs are full of ash – causing suffocation.
Another method is the “bath” method in ancient Persia. The victim will lie in a closed wooden bathtub, with only his head open. The face is covered with honey and milk – that is also where the flies will gather. Victims will be fed so they will gradually drown in their own waste. Maggots will multiply and kill the body. Victims usually suffer 17 days before disintegrating. Very nauseating indeed.
Many people will find it ridiculous to have this reason on the list. But this is not unreasonable, although people think it is impossible, there have been cases of deaths from embarrassment. It was a mental crisis . Compared to the reasons above, this death is unpredictable, which is sudden death . When people are confused, stressed, anxious, the adrenaline rush can be deadly.
Of course, those who die for this reason are quite special and often must have a very strong mental impact. The bad thing is that we humans always don’t anticipate the reason for this “banana” so it’s scary
