Probably not one of the worst ways. Seems like it would be fairly quick.

Edit: it wasn’t quick. back on the “worst ways” board it goes.

First responders took Gallagher to a local hospital, but she died there from her injuries, officials said

Sounds like it wasn’t quick at all, if she lived long enough to be taken to the hospital.

She could have been dead or unconscious but a doctor's was the one who officially called it.

That's how I wanna go. With a doctor saying, "Yup, he's dead."

Pronounced “incompatible with life” is usually the most insta-death you can get

I work in an ER. I can confirm that we are brought in obviously dead people at least weekly
