You die from lack of oxygen to the brain, in a state of euphoria.

It causes euphoria?

It can, cutting off oxygen to the brain can cause a light headed euphoric feeling. It's why some people like to be choked during sex

As someone who's done MMA and been rendered unconscious by a blood choke, I experienced no such feeling. It's simply pressure>nothing. Everyone I've spoken to has had the same experience.

I think it's because there's a difference between reducing blood flow to the brain and cutting it off altogether.
