There is no detailed records on how the people died of the wall, but I think the way you described may all exist, for building the wall indeed is a tough work!

i believe most were slavs who were forced to work horrendous hours in poor conditions. historians estimate 8million lives were lost in building the Great Wall.

First of all, millions didn't die, it was many thousand of people. Second, you're partially right about how they died, but the main reason is the torture of the workers, lack of food led to starvation, terrible living environments, and most of all, the harsh and very demanding hard labor that was involved in building the wall.

yeah they died because the bricks fell on them and they would be buried in the wall
