Scary Deaths

By Alexander Rosacruz

The human brain is designed to look into the future, but with limitations. The only certainty that exists in life is that everyone dies; but despite this, the brain hides it for fear of maddening its bearer. This truth usually emerges from time to time as a "Fear of death". The fear that that moment will come and that there will be neither present nor future ends up being inevitable. The way it arrives adds uncertainty and horror: will it be sudden and painless? quick and cruel?

This book addresses the terrifying, violent, and bloody deaths through historical records to the present day, to understand their causes and origins, and understand where the human race is in the conception of its finitude.

What deaths are considered terrible and what people are not afraid of

It is believed that 100 billion people have died since the dawn of humanity. According to statistics, about 55.3 million people die every year.

Above all, people are afraid of dying in agony or from disease. However, the number of even seemingly unbelievable deaths is quite large. For example, according to an article in Time magazine, 600 people die each year from falling out of bed in the United States. Also, a person is more likely to be killed by lightning or a bathroom slip than by a terrorist attack. And about 440,000 people die each year from preventable medical errors.

The most terrible and horrible deaths of people in the world

Although death is terrible in itself, people and the world around them sometimes force individuals to go through unimaginable suffering before going to the next world. So one of the most terrible and physically painful deaths is crucifixion, which in Sudan is still a legal method of the death penalty.

In this sense, we can cite some real events that fall into the category of terrible deaths:

• Junko Furuta

Human cruelty towards their own kind often knows no bounds. And, unfortunately, references to terrible torture and murder are associated not only with the Middle Ages. In 1988, a 17-year-old Japanese girl, Junko Furuta, was kidnapped by a group of underage sadists: Hiroshi Miyano, Jo Ogura, Shinji Minato, and Yasushi Watanabe.

Junko was a Japanese schoolgirl who endured 44 days of unimaginable torture at the hands of her classmates before she died on January 4, 1989. After refusing Hiroshi Miyano's bad boy advances, she was taken to the home of Nobaharu Minato, a friend of the instigator. In all, more than 100 people knew about her abduction, but no one did anything to help.

Miyano's parents were bigwigs in the Japanese yakuza mafia, so it was not difficult for the young man to intimidate the girl and his own friends. Under threat of death, she called her parents and told them that everything was fine so that the police would not look for her. On the first day of her incarceration, she was repeatedly raped, forced to eat insects and drink urine, had smoking cigarettes stuck into her flesh, and was set on fire with a lighter. On the eleventh day, they broke her limbs and hung her from the ceiling, using her body as a punching bag. She tried to run, but she couldn't escape from her, so they doused her legs with incendiary liquid and set her on fire. Later, Furuta was tortured by inserting a broken bottle into her anus. On the twentieth day, firecrackers were thrown at the girl, and then red-hot knitting needles. A month of imprisonment passed, and the bored rapists came up with new methods of torture. The unfortunate Japanese woman had her face sprayed with hot wax, her breasts pierced with needles, and her nipples clamped in a vise, while a light bulb was plunged into her body. On the forty-fourth day, Junko Furuta died of pain shock after being tortured by fire for two hours. The next day, the teenagers cemented the girl's body in a barrel and dumped it on a construction site, the police managed to find her body and her killers. her nipples were held in a vise, while a light bulb was stuck inside her body. On the forty-fourth day, Junko Furuta died of pain shock after being tortured by fire for two hours.

Hiroshi was sentenced to 20 years, while the other main kidnappers received ridiculous sentences: between 5 and 10 years. The reason for such a light punishment is the age of 17-18 years. If the attackers had been a bit older, they would have been sentenced to life in prison or executed. Hiroshi Miyano, leader of the gang of sadists, was released in 2007.

• Balthazar Gerard

Balthasar Gerard was executed for the assassination of William I of Orange in 1568, and he accepted one of the most painful and sophisticated methods of suffering. At first, he was tortured for a long time, and then Dutch wooden shoes several sizes smaller were put on his feet.

The feet in the boots were placed in the fire: due to the temperature, the wood shrank and the bones began to break. Then, for two days, he was doused with alcohol and set on fire for great torment, and nails were driven into his mangled legs. However, this was not enough: the court sentenced him to death by dismemberment.
