That depends on how they die. If they start having a heart attack, they usually have chest pain that is unpleasant but not severe (some don’t even have chest pain). They go to the ER and get morphine plus other treatment; not fun but not as bad as a broken arm—painwise.
Now for the ones that die with a heart attack, many of those die suddenly within several minutes of onset (ventricular fibrillation) which ispainless (unless they get resuscitated and the aftermath of that is painful, with all the broken ribs, skin ‘burns’ from the shocks, tubes down your throat, etc.)
Then there are others who survive but undergo cardiac surgery—never pleasant… Or they get congestive heart failure, and end up slowly ‘smothering to death’—not painful, but quite unpleasant.
All in all, it is usually a ‘easier way to go’ than metastatic cancer. But the best way is to die suddenly in your sleep.
Woody Allen said it well: “I don’t mind dying. I just don’t want to be there when it happens”.
Hope this informs your morbid curiosity
