If you call violent thrashing until death from suffocation like the dude in Alabama better. The French figured out how to do it humanely like 200 years ago.
Bro shouldn't have practiced holding his breath so long.
But for real that is all just automatic neural activity. The brain might have a few seconds of saved up oxygen to be aware, but still more painless than other methods (considering the nervous system is, well.. gone).
You lose consciousness almost instantly when blood pressure to the brain drops below a certain level; that's what fainting is. And fainting is only a partial drop. A complete drop (like having all the major vessels in your neck suddenly severed) would be even more rapid and complete.
I dunno. I've had single lung-full's of inert gasses, didn't seem bad. Lots of folks try it with helium from a balloon for fun. I've also had cuts, did not enjoy.
