Is this the Most Painful Death Ever?
The agony prolonged for 83 days
September 30, 1999: Hisashi Ouchi(35), a well-built, handsome man, was rushed into the National Institute of Radiological Sciences(NIRS), Japan.
Ouchi worked at a nuclear facility in Tokaimura. A terrible accident at this plant had left him and two fellow workers exposed to nuclear radiation.
At the time, no one could evaluate the severity of the accident.
The National Institute of Radiological Sciences was not adequately equipped to handle the case, and the victims were shifted to Tokyo Medical University.
For a man who underwent a serious nuclear accident, Ouchi looked healthy when he arrived at the hospital.
There was swelling under his eyes; his skin was reddish, with pain spreading across his ears and arms. Those were relatively mild symptoms of radiation exposure. The doctors were hopeful of reviving him.
However, things began to spiral out of control with each passing day.
