Here's the thing - why did Young suffocate him? Of all the ways he could have done it, that seems like the most drawn-out and tortuous.
Suffocation takes at least 30 seconds until unconsciousness. That's going to be unpleasant both for Riley, who's lying there knowing what's going on, and for Young, who has to sit there and look him in the eye the whole time its going on. And, asphyxiation causes a painful buildup of CO2 gas in the bloodstream, as well as triggering intense feelings of panic.
Plus, unless we're to believe Young stayed there holding him for the 4-7 minutes until the brain actually dies of anoxia, there's always the possibility that Riley woke back up after Young left him, and he'll now just slowly die alone of thirst or infection...
Why not just reach down and snap his neck? Grab a piece of debris and wham him upside the temple. Slit his throat with your service knife, he'll bleed out faster than he'll choke out. Or, hell, you have a SIDEARM. Plug him once between the eyes and its done.
Poor Riley
