Strong suction from the engine - like this case from 2022:

"On December 31, 2022, Courtney Edwards, a 34-year-old ramp agent for Piedmont Airlines was fatally sucked into a running jet engine at Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama.

Edwards was approached by the strong suction of the left engine on an Embraer E175 jet while attempting to position safety cones. She was pulled off her feet and ingested into the operating engine, causing the aircraft to shake violently before an automatic shutdown."

Helluva way to go.

Well, I assume it was an immediate death.
