When your brain doesn't get enough blood, vision is always affected. Peripheral vision is lost at first, the wolrd becomes smaller and smaller. It can be frigtening.
Then you black out (which is very sudden) and your eyes can remain slightly open because it happens fast.... and you don't get to see much before that anyway.
This is different from deathstare. There are cases where the guys eyes are really wide open. This happens in violent deaths, when death is sudden and fast.
Violent death is extremely unpleasant - getting stabbed, shot...in this cases it takes time for internal bleeding to kill you...so you are perfectly aware for a few minutes that you are dying.
Hanging yourself can be pleasant for men...depending how you hang yourself.
Beheading is also very nasty but getting burnt is probablly the most horrific way to go.
There is an excellent BBC documentary called "How to Kill a Man", detailing various ways to die.
The experts finally agree that
Carbon monoxide poisoning is fast and painless and probably the prefer way of dying.
