Answer 3

'Die well' sounds like a phrase that has survived over the ages. Centuries ago,in some of the warrior cultures, it was a disgrace or dishonor to die on the sickbed or to die of old age. To die in battle was considered a good death. I guess over time, the phrase 'die well' would be to die as one would wish.

Answer 4

It means to die doing something worth dying for.
