• No. A solid neck shot is just as fatal and “painless”. This one in particular created an instant blackout due to complete blood pressure and flow loss. But the doubly fatal part was the spinal cord strike - you can see from the rictus posturing that the whole body was suddenly reacting to “no signal found”. He wasn’t conscious long enough to feel any pain, and any pain he could have felt at that point would have been from the chin up.

      Yeah, the dude was immediately unconscious and probably died on the ride to the hospital if not on the spot. “He was taken to the hospital in critical condition” is just theatre. 95% of the conversation at the hospital was determining cause and time of death to put down on his death certificate.
