No seriously. Almost all of my family on my father's side has died this way. My father's almost 80 now and we expect him to go up any second.

Btw, is it common to die in your sleep? Thats the perfect way to die in my book, I hope the chances are high... Everything else sounds painful... Or well, I hope a heart failure is kinda like fainting, you just start to see everything white and suddenly lose consciousness... But I am an ultra safe person and hardly anything dangerous happened to me except said fainting, so I wouldnt know

When my time comes, I want to die like my grandfather did: quietly and in his sleep. Not kicking and screaming like the passengers in his car.

I stole this from another thread here. But it seems apropriate

I think I'll be shot.

I've made too many Enemies at my school who all look like they will become serial killers.

not really, as the question is how you "will" die, not how you "want" to die.

My mom's side has a history of cancer (no specific type, just cancer in general), but my dad's side has insanely good health. My grandmother (dad's side) has smoked heavily since she was 13, has been an alcoholic for decades, and has yet to have any health problems. (she's 77 I think).

I'm personally hoping to live to be 100+ and die of old age.

A car is going to crash into my home office in a few minutes, killing me instantly. My wife will probably be able to salvage my monitor, though.

My b-i-l is dealing with that. He's nearing his end.

I expect to be killed in a car accident.

If you could know the exact time and circumstances of your eventual death, would it cease to be the truth since you could then likely prevent it? ;)

Well, you do save on the funeral expenses, but when you throw in the property damage it's pretty much a wash. :p
