I worked as a nurse for many years and mostly I worked with terminally ill people (dying). Most people died peacefully, just kind of wound down like a watch until they stopped ticking. They knew what was coming and eased into it. A few men fought like wild animals and died while struggling around the room. They did seem to see something unpleasant and terrifying in a parallel dimension just beyond us. I could feel their spirit leave their body at the moment they died. It goes out through the head and I think they stop a few moments and get their bearings and then go to __________?
People who die from accidents are sometimes confused and don't understand what is happening. That is sadder to witness, to my mind as they don't get a chance to prepare themselves.

I have, unfortunately, seen death in many stages and if you ever have the opportunity to do so PASS IT UP!.
I have been a forensic photographer for many years and have been called to the scene of many events that show just how brutal humanity can be.
I have seen the look on peoples faces when they have been in car accidents, shootings, industrial accidents or their own actions (suicide that didn't go as well as they planned) and knowing they are going to die. The one thing that I can say about it is it is horrible. I have never seen fear like that in any other situation.
I have also seen the end result, people who were already dead, and the expression of pain on their face is something that I still have nightmares about (don't let anyone tell you that being hit by a freight train is painless - I have seen evidence to the contrary).
I have heard of people passing away peacefully in their sleep, and am told that they are at peace. As for the "light", I have heard that it is your brain shutting down and causing a series of reactions in the brain. I don't know, but it would explain why everyone who has a "near death experience" sees the same thing - but then, so would visions of God or Jesus.
Watching someone die isn't pleasant, no matter the circumstances.

Everyone I see is dying. As far as seeing someone die immediately yes, several. Some from cancer, which was terrible to watch, but there is one that sticks out in my mind. When I lived in O.C., Md I saw a young boy who was on vacation, try to cross the street. He was eviscerated by a drunk driver being chased by the police. It took twelve tarps in various parts of the street to cover his body. As far as seeing something on his face, I couldn't tell you, his head was a block away. (I am dead serious) The driver of the car was punished accordingly, racing on Coastal Highway at speeds of around 120 MPH coming in off of the rt50 bridge. The two friends I was with lost their lunch on the spot. I was too shocked to do anything but laugh. (I couldn't believe what I had just seen) Death is not a pretty thing.

I saw saw my father dying in hospital. He had been suffering from emphasema (sp) for years and had suffered a lot. Although he was on oxygen, still struggling for breath and was almost unconscious, it was clear that he knew that his family was around him. He had a look of peace on his face and I imagined that he was thinking back over his past life, especially his years of suffering, knowing that he would soon be suffering no more. I did not see the end, but my mother did and she told me that he went very peacefully.

Some go peacefully some do not,, when the body dies it releases everything,, urine stool etc.
There is usually a few long agonal breaths often refer-ed to as a " death rattle" not a pleasant thing.
However, when you actually see someone die it is somewhat unsettling to see no angels, white light, tunnels or spirits, just a body ceasing to function.

Obviously no one has ever actually died in front of you...
I have actually seen two people die (and no, I don't feel that makes me lucky as I assume you might think) One was quite horrible and the "Look on his face" reflected it, and the other went peacefully in a hospital bed but he was sleeping and waking -up, dozing in and out of a pain-med coma-esque state so... One was a bad scene and the other was just horrible for me.
Why do you ask? This is a bit morbid and kicked up some uncomfortable memories for me... THANKS!

I saw Larry Hagman dying on stage in London many years ago. He did see something I couldn't see - the Queen sitting watching his act looking disgusted

Yeah. She died peacefully, and had no facial reactions.
Many dying people undergo a dementia that results in that tunnel deal known as the near death experience. So yeah -- I believe some dying people see things that I don't.

I have seen many people dying due to heart failure, cancer, trauma and what have you. Most have the peaceful expression of someone with a large dose of morphine of are unconscious. I saw one 20 year old patient die slowly of leukemia over several days, and until the very end, she talked to her pastor who wanted her tithe, and was peaceful. I ran him off not to come back to see my patients.

at the point of dying my dad went from struggling to breath to a beautiful smile on his face .. the doctor who came to see the body said that he had never seen someone look so happy to go
it gave us a lot of comfort knowing that he was out of his pain and that something at that moment made him smile :o)
