My dad got up one morning, said to his partner he was going to make a cup of tea.

She fell back asleep then woke to find him dead on the kitchen floor.

He didn't even get the kettle on.

Way to go, Dad!

Is it important to you that you die in your home country and not in a foreign land ??
I don't care as long as it's relatively painless.

As a nurse, I prefer to die in my home however I wouldn't want to place that burden on my surviving family, so I would die in a hospital, but only after being there for a short period of time, preferably when I am 128 years old

If I could choose my death, I'd be shot by the husband of the woman I'm in bed with when I'm 105 years old.

I was once in the audience of a panel discussion of famous writers. The moderator asked George Plimpton, a founder of the Paris Review and a popular journalist, how he preferred to die. Without hesitation he replied, "In the arms of Lee Remick."

For those of you too young to know, this was Lee Remick: Lee Remick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She never had the chance to comfort Mr. Plimpton. She died of cancer when she was only 55. He died 12 years later but he didn't need a beautiful and talented actress comforting him. He keeled over of a sudden heart attack.

If I have a say in the matter of where I would want to die it would be at home listening to some good music and hopefully pain free with my kids and dog beside me.
