If you were to die from something PLEASANT, what would you want it be?
hypothetical examples:
*laughing to death
*heart attack during orgasm
*choking on the best meal you have ever tasted in your life
Choose any demise you want, it does NOT have to be from my list, it just has to be an oxymoronic demise: that is, it has to be something normally considered harmless and pleasant!

I think laying in a hammock hanging between two trees in the Caribbean with a nice breeze blowing, just as I am finishing a novel. I would like to wait until the end of the book. It would be awful to be two pages from the end.
I would not want to choose orgasm. That would freak out my wife. She doesn't need that kind of pain.
As a matter of fact, it would be nice if it were a big hammock and we could both go together. That way, one of us wouldn't have to burden the other with going through death of a spouse.

Performing as the lead in an opera production, and accidentally having a heart attack in the touching death scene.

I think I want an ironic ending. A fatal brain aneurysm as I find I'm holding the largest winning lotto ticket ever and the wind blows it from my dead hand and it flies out over the empty sea.

How about brain failure while I'm laughing? It's better than a heart attack or suffocating, which is probably what laughing to death would be.

I would like to die in outer space. I'd like to see the earth from "out there" watch the beauty of the earth slowly turn.

Knowing death was the end result, any last minute pleasantry wouldn't be very pleasant.

It's nice to have money. A German millionaire offered a sum of money to any woman anywhere in the world who could kill him with sex (link 1). It's in his will and everything. He even offered to fly some to him if they want to try. Apparently he was immediately inundated with offers...

On the verge of bliss, with someone I love who doesn't love me back.
