Are there people who should not have died? If so, why would God/Destiny make it so? In saying that someone should not have died, isn't that in direct defiance to God's/Destiny's will? If not, why is everyone so afraid to die and willing to give up so many freedom's in order to prolong life as long as possible? Isn't it possible that death is wonderful? Can anyone really know that it is not? Death is a great unknown to everyone who is alive and why do we choose to believe death is bad when really it feels a lot better to believe that it is wonderful?

I will die when I die. It might be a disease, an asteroid, a rabid budgie, etc. Things happen. I think the way I treat my body (type of foods, exercising, smoking, etc) will contribute the most to how and when I die, unless an unexpected factor comes in to play, like a car wreck when I drive home this afternoon.
It will not be because some god has a detailed map of my life, beginning to end. That is completely ludicrous.

Personally I don't believe any negative thing is "God's will." I believe He allows it to happen, because we are free agents with FREE will, but early death, sickness, evilness and other "ills" that affect people are brought on by US, and by our initial negative choice. I have heard people use "it's Gods will" and "God's timing" when in reality it's OUR will and OUR timing, or acts of nature. I do not believe for one second that God's WILL would have anything to do with BAD BEHAVIORS and BAD EVENTS. WILL means decree or ordain.
As humans our goal is to be alive, and maintain life, that's why we eat and care for ourselves and do all we can to BE ALIVE, as Christians we believe that after "death" we remain alive, just on another realm. Suicide is a cop out, the reality is the inability to deal with the cards you're dealt with NOW, so you look for a way out... regardless of how someone wants to put it. To me suicide is self "murder"= murder. Unacceptable.
God would never WILL anything negative, he does allow it though.

Yes if you commit suicide, the fear of death is when a person is not pure. I had known a number nice people had passed away quite young. Most said " should not have died". The way I see, 'God did not want them to suffer further'.

No, God knows the number of our days before he even forms us in the womb.

No. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? But not one will fall from the sky without the will of the Father.

Fear stems from ingnorance. People fear what they do not know, and no one knows what death is really like. No one knows God's plan.

God has it all covered, not to worry, he marks the sparrow's fall (no, I'm not specifically Christian). God and his angels are aware of everything, even your thoughts, so watch it!

We may think so but....
It's all in God's perfect timing when someone will die
