Some were crushed or suffocated my collapsed buildings, others suffocated because of the dense cloud of ash and because of the pyroclastic flows that were a mixture of white hot air and toxic gasses.
Some were crushed to death under collapsed buildings, some were trapped under fallen buildings and suffocated, some were killed instantly by the numerous surges of heat and toxic gases called pyroclastic flows that came down from the volcano. Other would have suffocated because of the dense ash.

A recent multidisciplinary volcanological and bio-anthropological study of the eruption products and victims, merged with numerical simulations and experiments indicate that at Vesuvius and surrounding towns heat was the main cause of death of people, previously supposed to have died by ash suffocation. The results of this study show that exposure to at least 250 °C hot surges at a distance of 10 kilometres from the vent was sufficient to cause instant death, even if people were sheltered within buildings.[10
They didn't if they were there. The eruption covered 65 acres and 3 cities with a pyro clastic cloud that covered the area in about 7 minutes with clouds of rocks, dust, gasses, and 900 degree heat . No matter where anyone hid or where they went in the area they would not have escaped the eruption. Today the volcano is still active with a million people living in the area.
It was down the hill from a volcano, so when the volcano erupted it, killed everybody.
Most people did not have time to run away. Most died due to the heat surge of the eruption even before the town was hit and buried by the falling volcanic ash.
My ass blew up
Suffocation
i think it was the hot ash
no one lives in Pompeii now but people live in Naples which is close to Pompeii. and people live my mount Vesuvius. but not in Pompeii.
The people of Pompeii primarily descended from indigenous Italic tribes, while also incorporating influences from Greek settlers and later Roman conquerors. The city's population was a mix of local Italians, immigrants, and expatriates, creating a diverse and cosmopolitan community.

They were known as Italians, being that that is where Pompeii is situated.But, people from Pompeii are called Pompeians.
pompeii people thought the earth was flat
yes pompeii had running water but only the rich people
They don't. That's right, people don't live in Pompeii any more. The better question here is: How "did" people make a living in Pompeii.
Killed thousands of people and destoryed the town of Pompeii and Herculaeum.
it was located in pompeii and lots of people died from it.
They worked
