At least they do not know the exact reason, if they are even aware that they are dying. Just thinking of some war video footage and my own experience of the crash that broke my neck and back and almost killed me. And those that I have seen die. Some of this is a matter of mental state of awareness, or sudden onset of unknown factors to the individual, while others is a matter of an unseen assailant.

    Nah, I’d wager most people know they are dying as it’s a total system over-ride when your heart (the most common) or brain gives up. You might not know the clinical reason discovered in an autopsy, but you know in that moment that you’re fucked. Most people are dying by a sudden heart failure or failure of something else and they know for a moment that it’s like nothing they have felt before.
