As far as I know this description is not accurate. The process is much more excruciating than that. The person was hanged, then cut down before they died, then an incision was made in their stomach, and their intestines we're slowly drawn out, and if the subject passed out, they would pause until he regained consciousness, then carry on with the drawing. After that they cut the body into 4 quarters, and of course that ended the life. Is there any end to man's cruelty?
