Do they ever get more specific than that? Does anyone (in universe) distinctly remember how he died?

Prior to Flashpoint, the core events of Crisis DID still happen in so far as the Anti-Monitor tried to destroy all of existence in the positive matter universe via white death cloud.

In this version, Crisis #1-5 still happened as did #8 and #12. Barry died shortly after the Monitor was killed via the brainwashed Harbringer, with his life force fueling the Vibration Fork towers located throughout the past, present, and future.

The official post-Crisis version of Crisis was never told outright told except in excerpt: Flash #150 had the final battle against the Anti-Monitor but was full of continuity errors. Negative Woman was MIA despite being a crucial part of the final battle strategy, as the negative spirit had to hold Anti-Monitor in place, while Dr Light absorbed the power of a nearby star to try and one shot him to death. Also, the battle showed the Charlton version of Captain Atom being part of the fight even though Captain Atom doesn't debut until AFTER Crisis ended.

Justice League Incarnations #5, they retold the story of Crisis from the POV of Vibe and Gypsy. It was the first time they gave a glimpse of the "official" post-crisis version of the story and Waid did a back-up that confirms the notion that Barry died midway through the Crisis to stop the Anti-Monitor from killing everyone on Earth with an anti-matter canon he was building.

Post Flashpoint? Crisis never happened. PERIOD. So Barry and Kara never died and Dove (another Crisis fatality) died at the hands of Mr Twister, before the original Titans disbanded.

That said, the only "crisis" of the New 52 was a one-off event that happened the day that Dick Grayson, as Robin, first met the JLA.

In it, all time briefly merged due to time travel tech from Colu messing up with the time stream. The tech was being used by a shadowy figure who was a midget and who may or may not have been the cosmic horror creature Mr Twister was trying to summon, since the shadowy creature vowed to destroy Robin when Robin shut down the tech and fixed time.

Also, post-Flashpoint the Anti-Monitor had a completely different origin: he was now from the Third World of Gods and was that version of the New Gods counterpart of Metron and the former owner of Metron's chair.

He was named Mobieus and only became the Anti-Monitor because he mainlined straight up injected anti-life equation monster blood into him to turn him into the Anti-Monitor. He also ate worlds like Galactus, had a herald, and wanted to fight Darkseid so he could kill him as part of a ritual his herald came up with to purge him of the anti-life and become his normal self.

What >>93122906 said. Everyone knows Barry died saving the universe from the Anti-Monitor's cannon after he was kidnapped.

Basically everyone knows he died but when they try to remember how it gets hazy. It's the way time corrects itself.
