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

Answer 4

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.
