They perished during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Currently the temperature on Mount Vesuvius is no different from that of an ordinary mountain. Temperatures at certain spots may approach 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit during an eruption, but the last eruption at Mount Vesuvius was in 1944.
horrible deaths
The 1995 eruption of Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat resulted in 19 deaths. It was a small eruption, but it triggered a larger and more destructive eruption that occurred in 1997, causing further devastation and loss of life.
Herculaneum was destroyed along with other small villas and Pompeii during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius buried the villas under 4-6 feet of ash and mud.
The cities of Herculaneum, Pompeii, and Stabiae were destroyed by ash and mud on August 24, 79 AD, when the top of Mount Vesuvius was blown off during a violent eruption.
While only six deaths were known to have occurred, it is likely that there were other unconfirmed deaths during the Great Fire of London.
Pompeii was buried by volcanic ash during an eruption of the nearby Mount Vesuvius.
We cannot tell how many people REALLY died because it was so long ago... but an estimate of 3000 lives were lost in the 79 AD eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
