That's awful, but perhaps better than stuck for hours or days inside of a dead, dark, cold submarine at the bottom of the ocean as the oxygen slowly runs out.

My exact thoughts. Hypoxia is a terrible way to go.

Hypoxia is actually relatively peaceful.. not as instant as pressure implosion, but better by far than drowning

Not in the way that it would have happened in an environment that's CO2 levels are slowly increasing.

Would that not be Carbon dioxide poisoning rather than hypoxia?

I’m not a doctor, but I stayed at a holiday in express last night.

Indeed it would. The CO2 would trigger the breathing reflex and panic. Hypoxia does not trigger that and you start to lose yourself, similar to being drunk.
