Airline crashes - how is passenger death determined?

I know this is a morbid question but I want to know that in an airliner crash, like the recent one in Buffalo, how are the passengers usually killed? And is their death normally instantaneous? Thanks - I have a personal reason for this question.

Rapid Fire

In a catastrophic crash such as Flt #3407 death would normally be instantaneous from the blunt force of the impact. At the very least we can only pray that was the case.

R & C N

It is not the fall that kills you it is the sudden stop, and then the fire. Only a coroner can tell what killed a person. They must do an autopsy to find out cause of death.

Depends on the crash.

It depends on the crash. In the recent Buffalo crash I would imagine that those people died because the 'Aircraft departed controlled flight' and 'Experienced blunt force trauma' when the plane 'impacted terrain'.

yes, death is normally instant when the plane hits the ground. basically the only way to put it. depends on how it hit the ground though. but usually.
