you cant say one is worse than the other. Theyre ALL horrible. Ouchi went through horrible pain for 83 days. Pain is pain no matter how its inflicted. While most on the list were killed by people who meant harm, he was killed slowly by his family who were, in a way, greedy. They didnt care about his pain, they cared about their own and forced him to endure pain even though he begged for them to let him go. Sylvia Lykens is another victim who was tortured by a sadistic mom, her kids and the neighborhood kids. The crap she went through was just as horrific for almost 90 days.

[@DEVILISHLY_DELICIOUS]

@minilea144 seriously?! Ouchi was in the hospital the whole time. He was being treated in a safe place the whole time. They didn't torture him. He was suffering, but I'm sure they gave him pain meds or all kinds of meds to help him. You're an idiot.

[@DEVILISHLY_DELICIOUS]

@minilea144 you're confused by the meaning of "another." You said lykens was another victim that was abused by their mother. When you say it like that, it means to imply that Ouchi and Furuta were also abused by their mother. You know that's not true. You are wrong to say Ouchi suffered more than Furuta, and you are wrong to say Lykens suffered worse than Furuta. Lykens suffered for over 90 days, but it wasn't a torture situation like Furuta. It was an abusive caretaker situation. Lykens was tortured, but not constantly until she died. Lykens didn't suffer half as much as Furuta. You're really dumb.

I heard about Gordon Moffatt's death in MrBallen's channel. The most frustrating part was the negligence by the man tasked to operate the harness. If I remember correctly, the man was supposed to turn on the winch, but forgot to change the direction of the machine. For some reasons, the operator turned his back and didn't pay any attention. To give you a visual on how Gordon died, the harness was tied around his waist, and he's being pulled into a very small hole. Only a part of his torso was recovered.

The worst death that happened where I live was to a man working road construction. He went to retrieve a shovel that someone had put on a vehicle that had caterpillar tracks. The man driving the vehicle didn't see the man approach and started backing up. The track caught the tip of one of the man's boots and as the vehicle slowly backed up it crushed the man starting with his foot and continuing up his leg. The pressure of the tracks exploded the man's bone marrow out of his leg bones. I'm not sure when the man succumbed to his injuries, but the vehicle backed up all the way up the man's chest to his head. I saw a picture and you could see teeth all over the ground from the man's head being crush. Whenever doctors ask me about my pain using the pain scale and they say a 10 is the worst pain imaginable, I think of this man's death, and think naw, I'm like a 3.

Nutty Putty was bad, but one I think was worse was W. Floyd Collins - Mammoth Cave National Park (Sand Cave) - Jan 30, 1925. He became trapped in the cave and only had voice contact with the rescuers. He was trapped for over two weeks before he eventually died. News media showed up and it turned into a circus outside the cave. The Kirk Douglas movie Ace In The Hole is based on this incident. When you look at the photos of him trapped in the cave, you wonder why they were unable to get him out?

Hands down the worst death in the history of mankind is a man named Mithridate by king Artaxerxes II in 400 BC where he was executed by Scaphism. It is also called: "The boats." The victim is stripped naked, lashed to the mast of a makeshift boat, overfed milk and honey and launched out into the middle of a swamp. Having been overfed, the victim vomits and defecates all over himself. Left adrift all day and night in a swamp, the victim is swarmed by every insect in the vicinity. They feed off of the filth covering the victim's body and then start to burrow and nest inside the skin. The victim is pulled back in and fed more milk and honey throughout this ordeal. This brings more and more insects that feed, bite, burrow and have offspring inside the victim's body. The victim would not be able to sleep often during this and would rapidly fall into madness. Mithridate lasted 17 days before he most likely died of sepsis.

All of this was caused by a lie by a white woman who said that Emmett had grabbed and verbally threatened her when he had only whistled at her. The worst part about this was that not only did Emmett's mom Mamie Till not get any justice for her young black son being brutally murdered by racist white people, but both killers were both acquitted of murder this innocent black boy by an all-White jury following a trial.

Treadwell's audio is available, and it is terrifying. Brazen Bull: "Check out this torture device shaped like a bull." "Show me how it works." *Gulp*

John Jones' death further supports my wish to never go spelunking. Just being stuck in a cave alone is nightmare fuel.

The reality of this list can't even be mentioned because it breaks every ToS that exists for such things. but 'Funky Town' is the one that comes to mind without any descriptions. If you know; you know.

You didn't really do full justice to the Byford Dolphin incident. It was an example of "explosive decompression". I can't remember the exact measurements but one of the divers was sucked through a hole about 6 inches or so in diameter in the space of about a second. Whilst, I suppose mercifully, it was over almost instantly, suffice it to say there wasn't a great deal left of the guy. I'm not fazed by a great deal, but that one haunted me after reading about it for ages.

I think Junko Furuta should have been #1, has to be the worst thing to happen to anyone, worse than any of the things on this list..

One more thing about Rasputin is when they found his body under the ice, his arms were up like we was trying to get out and they found water in his lungs.

[@hueysanchez7472]

The Brazen Bull, which is responsible for countless, deaths, undoubtedly, takes the cake. Every death, is more brutal than anything in this list.

We can only speculate, as none of us have been through any of these horrifying scenarios.

If you look up St.Richard Reynolds and the deaths of various Catholic martyrs in England, mainly were hang drawn and quartered those who were women were hung or burned.St.Thomas More, St.John Fisher, and Blessed Margaret Plantagenet Pole were beheaded.More was Henry the Eight,s lord chancellor.The play and movie A Man for All Seasons which stared Paul Scofield as More was about him.Fisher had been a chaplin to Henry,s grandmother Margaret Beaufort.He was also bishop of Rochester. Blessed Margaret was the daughter of George,Duke of Clarence who was drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine, a butt being a barrel.Her brother was executed by Henry the Seventh along with Perkin Warbeck. Margaret was governess of Henry VIII,s daughter Mary Tudor, also known to history as Bloody Mary.Margaret,s son was Cardinal Reginald Pole.They actually had a better claim to the throne because of their Plantagenet blood.Anyhow the aceman executioner was inexperienced and is said to have chased her around the block hacking at her as she said she was no traitor. I think Henry did this on purpose For Anne Boleyn he brought over an experienced swordsman from Calais.He could have been a state executioner but no one is sure what the man,s name was.He definetly was experienced and most likely to me have been a soldier who knew how to weild a swird.

[@justincrutcher6697]

Whats scary about the nutty putty incident is that when all hope was lost they shot him up with some kind of drug to calm and relax him cause they knew there was no way to get hom out Truly sad

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

They never drugged him. They did allow his brother in the hole to sing church hymns and pray with John and allowed him to talk to his wife via a radio from time to time. You can read a recount by rescuer Suzy M. Just google it.

I feel like if you had done a list of the actually top 20 most brutal deaths in history you wouldn't have been able to describe basically any of them

Rather surprised King Aella of Northumbria wasnt included. Was blood eagled by vikings and not even that was enough to kill him. his screams interrupted the victory feast so much they lopped his head off just to shut him up

No recounts of the 2 blood eagles ( we know of ) in recorded history ? Bit disappointing , you'd think having your back cut open to expose your ribs , having them plucked out to reveal your lungs and tearing them out from your back would earn a top 5 spot at least but I guess not lol

The nutty putty cave incident was Mr Ballen's video this past weekend. I have heard about a lot of gruesome deaths on his channel!

[@JRKonungrinn]

MrBallen has a video published on September 9, 2020 that covered John Jones going into the Nutty Putty cave in 2009. This weekend's video was about Floyd Collins going to Sand Cave in 1925.

@@JRKonungrinn I knew that I had heard the story.....most of the ones in this video.....on his channel at some point, I must have gotten the most recent story mixed up with nutty putty. Sorry about that.

The most brutal death was Jesus Christ, but 3 days later he rose from the dead, praise the Lord

[@josgn]

yes amen

[@sweeneytodd011]

i think the deaths that take a long time are the worst and particularly those where the victim is aware and has time to contemplate whats coming and the the process itself which despite being brutal and horrific takes some time and the victim is conscious the entire time. i heard a couple of stories on youtube where people were trapped inside commercial ovens which heated slowly before achieving a fatal temperature, unfortunate person locked in by accident couldn't be heard by those outside due to the noise of machinery and they no doubt had time to contemplate what was in store for themselves as they realised they were trapped and the oven began to gradually heat up.
