Nitrogen does not require high pressurization. That is a ridiculous assertion, as almost 80% of what you are breathing right now is nitrogen. Remove the oxygen and you would breath normally, blowing off CO2 from your blood into your lungs, relieving any out-of-breath sensation, until you passed out eventually died from lack of oxygen. People have died from nitrogen asphyxiation accidentally and there are no signs of struggle or trauma. They just pass out, then die.
Not that I would wish that on any one. I'm pretty much against the death penalty, I just dislike "facts" being pushed that are completely false.

I am 100% against the death penalty, and think it should be abolished -- however
