Death of Swami Vivekananda-
Around 1884, when he was forty-eight, his throat began to bleed. At first it was diagnosed as 'clergyman's sore throat' and treated as such. But as the bleeding continued, the malady was recognized for what it was: cancer. Swami Vivekananda had once prophesied that he would not live to be fifty. He died on July 4, 1902, six months before the target he had set for himself.
Soon the chapel bell rang the seven o'clock call for evening worship. Quietly, with a word that none should disturb him, he went to his own room for an hour's meditation. Then he called one of his disciples in and asked him to open all the windows and fan his head. Without a word, he lay down and a silence enveloped the room. The disciple continued to fan the Swami. Minutes passed and not a word was uttered. It was presumed that Vivekananda was either sleeping or gone into deep meditation and in any event it was not for the disciple to disturb him either by word or deed.

At the end of an hour, says Swami Nikhilananda in the Swami's official biography, Vivekananda's hands trembled a little and he seemed to take a deep breath. There followed a shattering silence. The Swami again took a similar deep breath. 'His eyes became fixed in the center of his eyebrows, his face assumed a divine expression and eternal silence fell.'

From 'Philosophy of Death and Dying' by M.V. Kamath.

Swami Vivekananda did not die, but gave up his body voluntarily in an act of yoga called mahasamadhi, as did his master, Sri Ramakrishna, writes Charles Franc, July 1998. It was the latter, not Vivekananda - he suffered from dropsy and other nagging ailments - who had throat cancer. 'Swami Vivekananda passed away at the age of thirty-nine years, five months, and twenty-four days, thus fulfilling his own prophecy: "I shall not live to be forty years old"' (Nikhilananda, p. 178) -

Death

On July 4, 1902 at Belur Math near Calcutta, he taught Vedanta philosophy to some pupils in the morning. He had a walk with Swami Premananda, a brother-disciple and gave him instructions concerning the future of the Ramakrishna Math. Vivekananda died suddenly later that day. He had predicted that he would die before the age of 40, which proved to be true when he died at the age of 39.[2]

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa has predicted to one of his close disciple, "the moment "Naren", realises his real identity, he will not continue the earthly career. Vivekananda has chosen to relinquish his earthy career but he has not revealed this to any one. One day he was meditating and asked the disciple near him to fan him with a hand held palm pan. Swami Vivekananda has voluntarily taken his pran to the higher plane and relinquished his body. one or two drops of blood was noticed near his lips or nostrils. He is a paripurna Yogi who has chosen his own time. It is also reliabily learnt that he had already taken birth in Sri Lanka several years ago and he is likely to be around 30 yrs of age now.

Raghavendra's answer is close to the true. I have learnt from a most learned person I ever met in life that Swami Vivekanand was a celibate in true sense. In his entire life he never ejaculated even once. Due to this, there was so much 'Tej' in his face. Due to his so severe celibacy, his semen become so powerful that his testicles became unable to hold it and hence bursted causing his death.

Now, how far this statement is true, I would like to know. But the gentleman from whom I heard, is the most intelligent and knowledgeable man, one could ever meet.

Apparently he went into a trance state and was unable to come out of it. He died at age 39.
