"I still think"

Well, you aren't thinking while you're in deep sleep. But I'm sure that's not what you mean.... with practice, meditation can allow you to focus your thinking down to a single repetitive thought, and then even that thought can cease. I've read personal accounts of people who have "stopped thinking" for a little while when meditating. Of course, as soon as they realized it they started thinking again.
But yeah, you can definitely quiet down the chattering, thinking part of your mind through meditation, I've done it myself.

No- But we can control our minds by chanting the Maha Mantra. This mantra is the most powerful and can bring one to the highest spiritual platform very quickly. go to krishnaculture. Read Bhagavad Gita As it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada It shows the process of actually controlling the mined.

I don't beleive that its possible for us to not think, at least not for me. I can not think about anything in specific, but there is always the part of my mind that is the "observer" that is going "good job not thinking about anything!". In my mind, that counts as a thought, so no, it is not possible to not think

One of the goals of meditation is to free the mind of conscious thought.
Certain Buddhist teachers advocate achieving a meditative state akin to a blank slate in order to achieve true wisdom.
As for me, I try this, and as my mind becomes clear, I... fall asleep.

Possible not to think after the last breath! Human beings are born thinking machines!

Some people say they can clear their minds. I can't. I can't ever stop thinking! Sometimes I wish I could...
