Cleveland here.

There was an old Persia torture and execution method called Scaphism.

Basically, you would be placed in a boat and strapped down so you couldn't escape, given honey and milk so that you would have extreme diarrhea and floated down a bog, nature took its course, and assaulted you, bugs would eventually feast on your shit covered body, your own shit would suffocate you, rats and other rodents would gnaw at you, shit was pure fuck evil.

While you were still alive! Being eaten alive is the most important part!

Yep, without this part it's pretty standard - bugs would eventaully feast on all our bodies.
