eli5: when a submarine exceeds its crush depth, and it’s crew is killed, what actually happens to them? Do they die instantly or are they squished flat? What happens ?

I disagree with the squished flat part, yes your ribcage will be crushed and you’ll lose consciousness immediately, but your body remains mostly intact as it is also mostly water & bone.
The parts that get crushed are the soft external bits and everything containing air. Your lungs get flattened like pancakes but it’s not like you just stood under an acme anvil for wil-E coyote
