Remember kids, holding your breath in a vacuum kills!

Actually seems pretty spot on to me. Plus you went from normal earth preasure to 0 presure and back again with no preperation. That does some nasty things to the body, though I'd have to ask my father the scuba diver for details. Quite possibly it'd do nothing in those sorts of timeframe.
