If it makes you feel any better, I'm reasonably convinced he was already dead when they cut his head off - there wasn't any sign of arterial spurting, which should have been considerable, if he were alive (although the quality was too poor to be sure). Plus, he didn't appear to be struggling the way he ought to have, IMO. All the motion of his body could be explained by his captors manipulating him. Also, the screaming seemed to me to last too long. It should have cut off as soon as the carotid artery was severed, since the sudden drop in blood pressure would have caused him to immediately lose conciousness. Still pretty guesome, though.
