If it makes you feel any better a shot to the throat probably means he had time to realize what was happening to him before he died, possibly long enough to realize the poetry of the situation. That realization was also likely accompanied by unimaginable pain. A shot to the head would have been instant and essentially painless.
Unfortunately it was likely his carotid artery. His brain would have lost the blood to think before he realized he was shot.
The brain still has oxygen for a little while. Even if it's just 2-3 seconds, that's wayy more than it takes for it to register what's happening
Jokes on you, he died nearly instantly.
The nearly makes all the difference
