It is a certainty that death cannot be avoided in infinity. Sooner or later, it will occur for each one, but science shows that not all deaths are just as painful.

Although death in sleep has long been considered the easiest form of dying, it is not always as quiet as you might think, notes the Daily Mail online.
Death during sleep can be caused by a variety of causes, including heart failure, sleep apnea, diabetes and respiratory problems. Some of these conditions cause patients to fall asleep slowly, but others can leave people without breath, suffocating in the last moments.
Surprisingly, one of the most painless ways to die could also be one of the most brutal. According to some experts, the implosion would occur so quickly that the person could not even realize what will happen.
Anesthesia could also be included in this “top”. Sedative overdose was also presented as one of the most peaceful methods.
implosion
Although it is an unlikely cause for most people, experts believe that a violent implosion would kill a man in a few milliseconds. It was the tragic case of the five passengers aboard the submersible titan in 2023, which implocked during a deep mission to explore the Titanic wreck.
An implosion “It is when the pressure wave is inside, while an explosion is when the pressure wave or shock wave comes out of any source ”then declared for Dailymail, Dr. Dale Molé, the former director of the Department of Submarine Medicine and Radiation within the US Navy.
Dr. Molé explained that the death of the Titan passengers would have been fast and painless, they dying almost instantly because of the extraordinary forces exercised by the ocean:
“Would have been so sudden that he would not even know there was a problem or what happened to them”.
anesthetize
Considered, in general, safe, helping millions of patients to remain asleep during saving operations, anesthesia can sometimes be fatal.
According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, between one in 100,000 and one in 200,000 patients die every year due to anesthesia.
In the case of routine procedures, this risk is very low: one in one million. However, the rate increases easily from one to 100,000 for people with chronic health problems.
Anesthesia can cause relaxation of respiratory muscles, which can block breathing. It may also have the effect of low oxygen levels and excess carbon dioxide, which leads to brain damage. In addition, blood pressure and heart rate may occur, inducing heart attacks or stroke in patients with underlying conditions.
However, in the rare case of death caused by anesthesia, the drug would prevent patients from feeling something or being aware of complications, which makes death painless.
Silit cardiac arrest
Sudden heart stop, one of the most common causes of death, occurs when the heart activity stops without warning due to an interruption of the natural rhythm of the heart.
This is different from a heart attack, which is caused by a clogged artery that blocks the blood flow to the heart.
The cardiac arrest kills four to six minutes while a heart attack can take several hours.
Symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, dizziness and weakness begin suddenly and last only a few minutes before patients fain. From the moment the person loses consciousness, the cardiac arrest is painless.
Kidney disease
One of the most “peaceful” ways to die is the renal disease in the terminal stage, says Julie McFadden, a medical assistant.
Also known as chronic renal failure, chronic renal disease occurs when another disease affects the organs and makes them unable to filter the waste correctly.
These are diabetes, high blood pressure, urinary obstructions and recurrent infections, according to the Mayo clinic.
Patients are subjected to dialysis, and once they cease dialysis, their decline usually lasts seven to ten days, McFadden explained. According to the nurse, during this time, patients are unlikely to feel any pain, because they will sleep most of the time because of lethargia.
The nurse claims that death caused by renal disease is similar to sleep in sleep.
“Fall asleep until you die“She said, according to the Daily Mail online.
