Death special: How does it feel to die? - being-human - 13 October 2007 - New Scientist

Here's a handy little article from the New Scientist, which answers some of those long asked-questions, like: how long do you stay conscious after having your head cut off?

Some things to ponder on the long, dark nights: 55% of UK drownings occur within three metres of safety; 40% of the victims of fatal house fires are killed by toxic fumes before they even wake up; and that there had been one fatal depressurisation in space - the Soyuz-11 mission in 1971 that led to three deaths.

Sweet dreams.
