I’ve never understood the concept of “instant” death in cases where, say, someone’s heart gives out or aorta gets severed, or something happens to their neck, etc. “So and so died instantly.”
What does instant mean? And how does someone go from alive to brain dead that quickly?

In reality instant death isn’t a thing, except as you noted. It’s just what people say to make the loved ones feel better. “He died instantly” = “he didn’t suffer”. But in reality it took at least a minute or two or five to die and he suffered a great deal. Sometimes it may take a little time to die but the victim is unconscious for it so “he didn’t suffer” is true.
