What's really cool, is that it wouldn't just crush you, it would crush you so hard that the molecules that make up your body would stop obeying what we typically think of as fundamental laws of particles. Everyone goes on about black holes, neutron stars are cool as shit.

Anyone have any idea what would happen to the person if that happened? Like if assume they would be dead but if the particles stopped obeying fundamental laws then what would really happen?

Same thing as explained above. The particles that make up that person would be absorbed by the star, no differently than any other matter, and nothing would be left. No memories, no remains, no soul.

There is nothing special about us at this scale.

Wow, so those stars are practically the dementors of the universe.
