They are dead, but I don't know why the adults die, the kid maybe because of the crash from falling.
The kids died because anon yeeted them too high and thus killed them when they landed. As for the adults, basically anon shoved a stick inside them in a way that while their core paste did not get penetrated (not killing them instantly), most movements they do (basically posture other than what they are in) will cause them pain due to it. As such, in an attempt to avoid pain, they stopped moving drastically or doing stretch-stretch, which resulted in them dying due to lack of paste circulation within 10 minutes.
Isn't it a bit too fast? I noticed that some artists did use the same trick as this, but they always give them about 3 hours for more until the paste stops flowing, like this or this. If they can only get 10 minutes before the paste ceases to flow, how can they sleep?

Also, thanks for translating this, mister Reno.
Anon actually questioned that as well, stating that not moving for 10 minutes is a pretty common occurrence for yukkuri. The work itself does not seem to offer additional information or possible explanation, though personally I think it might be either due to yukkuri's ability to make their thought concerning themselves reality (placebo effect or, in this context, nocebo effect) effectively freezing them to death due to fear of any movement causing them pain, or that the stick prevents normal paste circulation, either due to physical obstructions or that the pain causes minute unconscious movement (akin to human heartbeat) stopping as well.
