they died of boiling mud
Pliny the Elder died while trying to rescue the survivors of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii. He saw the volcanic cloud and as he was admiral of the fleet at Misenum, a short distance away, he ordered rescue ships to be sent. He went with them (he was curious about all natural phenomena) despite being asthmatic. The gasses and bad air, combined with his asthma killed him.
He died from the poisoned skin of a centaur and then his father made him a god on Mount Olympus.
In Greek mythology, Hephaestus did not die. However, there are different versions of his story. According to one account, Zeus threw him off Mount Olympus for defending his mother, Hera. Another version suggests that he was banished after a conflict with Zeus, but he continued to live and work on Olympus as the blacksmith of the gods.

An estimated 15,000 people.
One negative effect of Mount Vesuvius is the destruction it caused to the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum when it erupted in 79 AD, burying them under layers of volcanic ash and pumice. Thousands of people died in the eruption, and the cities were abandoned and lost for centuries.
The 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. Most people died from smoke inhalation and suffocation.
No one turned to stone after Vesuvius erupted. If you are thinking of the eruption of 79 AD, the majority of the people died by the pyroclastic flow of hot gasses. The white "statues" we see of the victims are plaster casts of their bodies.
The Romans did not predict the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. That is why so many people in Pompeii and herculaneum died.
It is estimated that around 16,000 to 20,000 people died in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The exact number of houses destroyed is not known, but the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were both buried under volcanic ash and debris.
approximately 2,000 people died
It is estimated that around 300 people died at Herculaneum during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The superheated gas and ash from the volcano buried and preserved the city, resulting in the death of many inhabitants who were unable to escape in time.
Mount Vesuvius has experienced eight major eruptions in the last 17,000 years. The 79 AD eruption is one of the most well-known ancient eruptions in the world, and may have killed more than 16,000 people.
2000 exactly.there bodys were i casts of ash when people discovered them.the eruption was in 79ad and the volcano that erupted was mount vesuvius
Mount Vesuvius. Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. That eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash and fumes to a height of 20.5 miles, spewing molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 1.5 million tons per second, ultimately releasing a hundred thousand times the thermal energy released by the Hiroshima bombing. An estimated 16,000 people died due to hydrothermal pyroclastic flows.
