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?
Edit: thanks!

this is the main thing here, very few Causes of death are actually instant but in many of them , especially injury, can be so catastrophic that you either go into shock and pass out(and then eventually die if not assisted) or the injury took out a vital organ that compromised circulation: the moment your brain is derpived of blood flow for ANY reason you immediately go unconsicous. after that your are on a timer till the brain dies off from oxygen starvation.
