Reply to comment by Merky600 in In 1971, three cosmonauts Dobrovolski, Volkov, and Patsayev passed away due to a valve malfunction in the Soyuz 11 capsule. They remain the only people who have passed away above the Kármán Line - the defining line of space. by sciencekenyon
Another cosmonaut tried to close the valve on a different capsule later and said it took him 53 seconds.
The crew probably had less than 15 seconds of useful consciousness.

53 seconds to close the valve. That’s what I must be remembering. From an other incident.
