My post you quoted was a direct reply to another post discussing burn pain. Go back and re-read it.
you originally stated:
With burns over 90% of their bodies, they are dead men.
The reply said:
Holy cats! Missed that on the first read. Man, what a horrible way to go. THE most painful possible way to die is burns.
You then replied:
Actually, 3º burns are essentially painless--the nerve endings are affected. 1º and 2º are painful.
The article never addressed the degree rating of the burns. So one of two things is true:
If they suffered only first and second degree burns over 90% of their body, then they are in a lot of pain, as Lazmataz suggested.
If they suffered third degree burns, then they are not in pain, but are soon to meet their maker, as you stated.
I would logically guess that they suffered all three levels of burns, are in a lot of pain and will soon be dead.
