I would argue that "instantly killed in a horrifying way" is oxymoronic. I don't care that I'll be torn to pieces by rabid centipedes while being boiled alive in a vat of acid, as long as it's an instantaneous death. Horrifying, maybe, to observers, but any instantaneous death makes the means irrelevant to the killed.
Not instantaneous; just too fast for you to see the trouser snake.
Maybe he's not the only one who is horrified by it?
They do form social bonds so there is a chance a friend of his saw it happen.
Of course the meaning is horrifying to the observers and to those contemplating it.
How do you actually know instant death is painless? What if every single cell individually experiences the most horrifying pain possible?
