[ATLA/LOK] Could a powerful bloodbender end the Avatar cycle?

Powerful bloodbenders like Amon can control multiple people, even the Avatar. Could a powerful enough bloodbender make the Avatar enter the Avatar state as they were dying to permanently end the cycle? I understand Yakone was unable to control Aang once he entered the Avatar State, but if the Avatar is already dying, could one quickly make them enter the Avatar State?

All sorts of sharp trauma, physical or mental, have shown the potential to trigger the Avatar state’s reflexive defense mode. So yes, a bloodbender could trigger the Avatar state by inflicting pain and distress, but that is because it is torture not because of anything special about blood-bending itself. It would create a stress analogous to when Avatar Korra was poisoned with mercury injections. Crushing with rocks, suffocating with airbending, or any other such torments would have the same chance as working.
