If the sun were to supernova, why would we not be able to see it before it kills us, even though nothing travels faster than the speed of causality?

Since nothing travels faster than the speed of causality/speed of light, why is it said that if the sun were to explode we would not know, or see it, until we died?

The radiation that would kill us travels at the speed of light, and would kill a person pretty much instantly. Can’t see stuff if you’re dead. If you’re on the other side of the planet, you might not die and would know that death is coming with the dawn. But you’d die pretty much instantly, before your eyes and brain could process anything.
