Death in Natty Patty Cave (acassim7)
Death is inevitable. We will all get there, hopefully in old age and alongside our loved ones and loved ones. But (not about us) there are always people who die from diseases and accidents, but even these will show you comforting ways to die in relation to the most horrific deaths recorded in history.
In the past, we have told you about a number of cruel ways to die in the eyes - such as the "brass bull" - when a sacrifice was inserted into the bull, and a fire was lit under the bull. The metal would heat up until it turned yellow, and the person inside would be roasted to death. Another terrible way is the method of death by torture called skepism - when the victim is trapped between two boats (or in a hollow tree trunk) and force-fed milk and honey, which caused him diarrhea and then he is smeared with more milk and honey and left out in the sun or near still water, where researchers and reptiles ate his body while he was still alive.
Did you think these were terrible ways to die? You haven't heard anything yet. Five deaths were recently shared online and sparked shock. The following stories are not for the faint of heart:
Death from extreme radiation
The most terrible way to die is by poisoning with radioactive radiation. This occurs when exposed to a very large amount of radiation all at once (acute) or over time (chronic).
That's what happened to the high-society man, golfer and son of a wealthy American industrialist, Eben Byers, who died from prolonged exposure to radiation. Between 1918 and 1928, a radioactive energy drink called Radithor was produced in the United States, a drink containing radium diluted with water that was classified as a miracle drug. At the age of 47, Byers suffered a serious shoulder injury and was advised by his family doctor to use a drink for pain relief and body stimulation. Byers was so pleased with the result that he decided on his own to double the amounts and continued to take the "drug" for several consecutive years. Slowly, he began to lose weight and suffer from headaches. He stopped taking the drug in October 1930 after drinking 1,400 doses of the "miracle potion", but a few months later many of his teeth began to fall out. He told his GP that he had lost his "sense of physical strength," which is a polite way of saying the bones in his body are starting to crumble. Only then did he realize that he had poisoned his body all these years. The nightmare doesn't end there.
In 1931, his condition got so bad that blacks began to form in his skull and the condition of his lower jaw was so bad that surgeons had to surgically remove it - causing him to lose the ability to speak. On March 31, 1932, Byers was pronounced dead by radioactive poisoning, with lawyers attempting to prevent the drink from being marketed stating that "all but two front teeth of Byers' upper jaw and most of his lower jaw had been removed" and that "all remaining bone tissue in his body had disintegrated, effectively creating holes in his skull." He was also buried in a lead coffin because his body was radioactive and continued to emit radiation. In fact, even when he was taken out for research in 1965, 33 years after his death, his body still emitted radiation dangerously. It is very possible that it continues to emit radiation to this day.
Remember when we talked about acute radiation? So that's also what happened to Hisashi Ochi, a laboratory technician at an experimental reactor in Japan's Ibaraki Prefecture. Ouchi and two colleagues were asked to mix 2.4 kg of nitric acid-enriched uranium, avoiding all safety procedures and mixing in stainless steel buckets. The procedure, of course, went badly wrong. On September 30, 1999, Hisashi Ouchi was exposed to the highest dose of nuclear radiation in human history.
"The uranium reached critical mass at 10:35 a.m. and triggered an uncontrolled chain reaction that emitted radiation for nearly 20 hours," the BMJ reported. They were rescued by colleagues and taken to a local hospital by emergency services."
Ouchi, 35, suffered severe radiation burns to most parts of his body, as well as damage to his internal organs, causing him to lose a lot of blood. On day 58, he went into cardiac arrest due to low oxygen levels, but was resuscitated by paramedics. For 83 days, Ouchi suffered unimaginable agony as radiation spread through his body, mimicking his DNA and causing his skin to melt and his eyes to "cry blood." His immune system was destroyed and his organs stopped functioning. He reportedly begged to die, but his family and doctors refused to give him up easily and kept him alive for nearly three agonizing months. The third time he had a heart attack, doctors could no longer revive him. Despite the skin grafts and prolonged treatment, one of his colleagues died of organ failure 211 days after the incident.

Attacking hyenas
Being eaten by a large predator is not very pleasant, but if you happen to come unwell to a group of hyenas, you will still beg a lion to pass by and devour you instead. Predators like lions will usually kill you on the spot. They will break your neck or strangle you with their jaws. It's not that they care about your pain – they'd just prefer you not fight back while they're dining with you. Hyenas, on the other hand, have a much more brutal killing technique.
"Their method of play is to chase a herd at a steady pace, although the hunt is individual rather than as a group, while being close enough for each to repeatedly bite the legs and back of their prey until one of the hunted animals can no longer bear the pain and falls to the ground," wrote author Dr. Rozvir in Predators of West Africa. He added: "Then the whole bevy of hyenas stops the hunt, jumps on the victim and devours him, tears his stomach and starts eating his soft internal organs - while the victim is still alive."
Luckily, hyenas don't tend to attack humans, so if you're not a zebra, the chances of you dying like that are slim. However, there have been a significant number of hyena attacks in history, mainly on children and the elderly.
Drowning in urine and feces
Dying by drowning is terrible, although some might say that apart from the first few terrifying seconds of suffocation, death is accompanied by a sense of peace probably caused by the lack of oxygen. However, the sense of peace in question is less noticeable when the liquid in which one drowns consists of urine and feces.
One such terrible incident occurred to a group of nobles in July 1184, when they met to resolve a dispute at St. Peter's Church in Erfurt. The organizers of the event did not take into account the weight involved in such a large gathering. The floor collapsed and many of them dove into the drain hole under the building. Between 60 and 100 nobles drowned to death by monks' body secretions, some of whom were "lucky" and had already died as a result of the infrastructure that collapsed on them before they could choke on feces and urine.
Worms get cancer
Unfortunately, the cure for the cancer that afflicts many of us has not yet been found. However, in the next case, a person died of cancer that his worms had – and he didn't. In 2015, a Colombian man died after his parasitic worm contracted cancer — and the cancer cells from it spread through his body.
The 41-year-old, who was HIV-positive, began suffering from fatigue and weight loss for several months, as well as fever and cough. CT scans showed that his lungs and liver were full of tumors of an unusual type: they were 10 times smaller than doctors expected. The tests found that the cancer cells contained DNA from the parasitic worm Hymenolepis nana, and the patient died 72 hours after hospitalization.
"Human disease caused by parasite-derived cancer cells is a novel finding," his team wrote in the case report, "Multicellular parasites that live in host tissue usually have cellular mechanisms to invade host tissues and evade the immune system. These mechanisms may be involved in the course of malignant transformation within the host. The host-parasite interaction we report should stimulate a deeper investigation of the relationship between infection and cancer."
Natti Fati Cave Incident
West of Utah Lake is a cave with the naïve name "Natty Patty". Many loved to explore the cave with its narrow passages – and this led to several rescue operations over the years. There was concern that someone would die in this cave before John Edward Jones and his brother Josh visited it in November 2009. The two searched for one of the narrow passages in the cave system, known as the birth canal, to try to squeeze through it.
Unfortunately, the two got lost and found themselves in an uncharted part of the cave. John, a 26-year-old medical student, noticed an opening — at a 70-degree downward angle — and began crawling in. He believed he saw an opening on the other side, but it was a mistake - and as he crawled his way there, he got stuck there with no way to get back to where he came from. He tried to exhale the air in his lungs out to try to fit his chest into the narrow gap, but when he inhaled again he was trapped for good.
The next day, rescuers tried to rescue him, lying face down in the passage. The position he was in (upside down) made it difficult for his heart to draw blood from the brain, which is usually made possible by gravity. Rescuers tried to get him out using a pulley system, but it eventually broke free and failed. After 27 hours, John died of cardiac arrest. A week after his death, the cave was finally sealed and became a monument in his memory.
