You typically see people deteriorating and stop breathing or fall into a state of unconsciousness – this seems steady. But when you read of freak accidents like being decapitated internally (the spinal cord detaching from the head), how do you just die instantly? If the brain can survive 6 minutes without oxygen until pronounced brain dead…how does someone just die? Even if your heart stops beating there and then, how do you just drop dead?

There was a story I read, I think on Reddit, from the Vietnam war where a man’s head was severed and landed in another’s lap. The severed head was still conscious for a second – long enough to look over at what had happened and back up at his buddy before going blank.
Dunno if it’s true, but seems plausible.
