I almost drowned when I was three, so I have a very healthy respect for water. I don't go near it if I can avoid it. I would hate to drown, burn to death would be bad, but then if I were in a fire, I would probably choke on the smoke first. (i've also been in a fire).
To be honest, any death which is premature is not going to be nice, because the body and the mind will do what it can to escape the situation. It must be awful for all those people who have been in those situations where, when peril and danger stare them in the face, there was absolutely no escape. Gives me the willies.

Drowning....has always been an absolute dreaded fear, My heart pounds when I watch titantic or old submarine war films..plus also how terrible to die in a Tsunami...I will never forget the lady who had to let go of one of her children to try and save her own life and that of her second child...my God what a thing to have to do...No I would rather die alone in this way..because I am fearful that I would fight for my own survival and forget everyone around me. I am such a poor swimmer.
We were on holiday this year and my daughter was being swept out to sea in her rubber dinghy...I just had to dive in and go for it...the adrenaline rush allowed me to swim further than I had ever done before, by time I reached her I was exhausted...but I prayed that the ring would stay afloat with both of us and made my way slowly to shore.......I tell you now...I thought I was going to die...and that old titanic, Tsunami thing kept me going.
Mind you I could not talk for an hour afterwards...was still deep breathing...

To be honest, I don't fear death, I guess it's the actually pain that we may be afraid of, or the feeling of not getting your breath, obviously different things effect different people's mind's. I am a Born-Again-Christian and unless you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour and sak Him into your life, the Holy Spirit will strengthen you and give you wisdom, understanding, as well as the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. What to be afraid of and what is not, then ask Him to give you His protection, strength and most of all the Power of God.
I am sharing this with you because I have been in near death conditions when I served in the Army as well as Civilian Life. I can honestly say, I wouldn't be here if God did not protect me and Save me from what was certain death.

Why would anyone focus on that.....try living in the "present".....get it. Today and the present is a gift....don't waste it. There is too much suffering out there and those people must learn to live in the present and not worry about anything but maintaining as positive and happy a world as they can. Why don't you start doing a gratitude list every day.....at least 5 things a day and journaling would be great too. Then you can actually move on to real meditation. Have a GREAT DAY!

fire is not too bad as somebody said but drowning would be aweful. Many people say that dieing next to your loved ones would be nice but i would hate that if someone i knew did that. I couldn't watch... but i suppose it's alright for the one who dies. Although sleep would be the best. Wait I am changing my answer - suicide cause you wouldn't do it if you didn't feel loved in any way so there we go - that has to be by far the worst.

Death is a natural process and nothing to be feared the fear comes from the unknown as most people don't know what lies ahead. I don't fear death itself, the best way to die though is in your sleep. after you lived a long fruitful life.

Drowning is meant to release feelings of euphoria - not sure how people know. You are more likely to die of smoke inhilation than burning - though burning must be horrific.
However, I would say long lingering cancer - the pain and indiginity must be the worst way to go.

I'm with you on the drowning thing. I nearly drowned when I was a child and ever since then it has scared me to the point of not being able to swim.

I think any death involving a long, drawn out time is worst.
My Grandfather died in the middle of the street one day whilst perfectly healthy.
4 years later on exactly the same day my grandmother died iwhilst in the bank.
I want to go that way - I hope I have inherited it!
Like Steve Irwin I want to go out being me,
not a shadow of what I used to be.

Suffocating and burning to death at the same time. While being shot.
Sorry. Just had to take it one step further.
At the end of the day, there are a lot of nerves in the human body. So there are probably a lot of ways you could devise to damage as many of them as possible (thus causing pain) while killing someone.
Morbidity ....fascinating, isn't it?
