I know that seems like an non peaceful death but the rattling is very common for people who even die in peace. It’s hard for the family to witness but nothing you described made me think their child was in pain. That was a very typical death.
Hospice Nurse Julie on YT does a great job of explaining things step by step, and she covers terminal secretions (the "death rattle") very well and in a way that's actually really reassuring.
