quick death
Instant fatal blow
A quick death is one that comes swiftly, without prolonged suffering—death by sudden trauma rather than lingering illness.
The phrase often appears in contexts of mercy or preference: If I have to go, I hope it's a quick death.
In gaming and military contexts, it can describe an efficient kill or a mission that failed rapidly.
