Im not sure if anyone has mentioned this because I didn't read all the posts but did you get the idea for this thread from what Jim Morrison said about death? How he did not wish to die in his sleep, and that death is the next great adventure, and he didn't want to miss it?
Thats what it makes me think of. My grandfather died while he was golfing. Not a bad way to go considering it was his favorite pastime. He was even cremated in his golfing duds!
If I was fighting for something, I would want to be publicly executed after I had achieved what I was fighting for. You know, either hanged, or shot. I would like there to be a croud watching, so I could see the way they react while watching me die after something I fought for valliantly. That would be a neat way to die, but I think I would take natural causes, or something sudden you know.
And there you have it.
