Detailed Answer:
Hello

After going through the medical query raised by you I would like to tell you that the outcome will completely depend upon the location and size of the aneurysm.

If the aneurysm is of some major organ of the body like in brain or any major blood vessel like aortic aneurysm if that ruptures the death will be instantaneous within a couple of minutes.

I hope this information will answer your question. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.

Kind Regards
