woah.. i didn't realize that snoring could lead mean something as serious as instant death..
but in these scenarios, are anti snoring devices effective to cheat death? or is there no other way other than wake the person up?
As I understand it snoring can be a indirect cause of certain illness.
While there are many potential cures for mild snoring, for serious snoring issues
more detailed testing is needed to find effective cures. For many a sleep
laboratory is a way to know of more serious causes behind the snoring
before a life threating event as you described happens.

Time and again the story is that the individual is heard to be snoring shortly before their death. People lying on the floor snoring. People lying on the couch snoring. People lying on their bed snoring. People snoring really loudly. Most often the snoring is unusual for that individual or seems inordinately loud, it is “remarkable” snoring.
These snoring preceding death in these cases almost invariably involve individuals impaired by alcohol and drugs. The snoring is due to the fact that their airway is way too relaxed and they are not getting enough air (oxygen). Do not allow them to continue to lie there and snore. They are going to die. Chances are that they are not “going to sleep it off”.
Yes, some people snore every night, but if they are snoring loudly after drinking or using drugs (licit or illicit) the snoring is a sign of impending death. Get them medical help (911).
Consider this yet another of Coroner Keller’s Axioms, like no cocaine after 50 and get a doctor’s clearance if over 45 and participating in certain “extra-curricular” activities.
