How are you most afraid to die?

I would be most afraid to die by something painful that takes forever to kill me (getting slashed leading to loss of blood, drowning, not-fatal-enough-to-instantly-kill-me gunshot, etc.). The process of waiting for the pain to finally take me away sounds absolutely frightening - I'd rather my death be instant, as painless as possible, or in my sleep.
 
Intentionally tortured to death has got to be by far the worst. Someone doesn't just want you dead, they want you to feel pain in your last moments, and that would be terrifying to me. :(
 
I've always feared being shot to death. I'm always hearing stories about shootings and people getting shot at night and it really terrifies me. It's something you'd never expected cause clearly you don't know if someone decided to do a drive by or shoot up a school or public place. Being tortured is also another way I'd hate to die because of the fact that the person killing wants you to die. They like seeing you suffer in pain and that's just really haunting.
 
Anything slow and painful would not be ideal. People always say they don't want to die alone, but idk I don't think that would be upsetting for me.
 
Anything to do with losing air.

Drowning, suffocating...stuff like that. For some reason, I'm not as bothered by other methods (I mean, I'm still bothered slightly)....but those? Those will give me the chills just thinking about it. Ugh.
 
This isn't really a fear, but I don't want to be killed by anyone/anything. The only things that I will be okay with killing me is either myself or natural causes.

Now, fears. Being crushed is probably the worst for me. I don't know how it works, but I'm guessing that I would feel all my bones crack at once, and that just sounds outright painful. Plus, I'd still be conscious enough to feel it before I go, and I don't want that at all.

Another is being chopped/pulled apart. I want my body to be in-tact/in one piece when I die.

My final fear would probably be beheading. There's something so disturbing about beheading. It's like, the now-headless corpse was once a sentient being that could talk and think and is now nothing. That's so ♥♥♥♥ed up. I wouldn't wish a beheading on anyone.
 
Death brought by hungry/angry beasts or insects is all that I fear of death.
Striking in numbers or striking before I have any chance to defend myself.
 
Dying in my sleep suddenly. Idk seems like such a boring way to go haha. I want to go out with a bang!
 
Anything painful is a manner I don't intend to experience death with. Torturous is the worst followed by the idea of dying in a hospital ward with all those tubes and stuff embedded in your body.
 
I'm afraid of dying suddenly, without any premonition of it happening. Something like a car crash, or getting bitten by a poisonous snake/spider, or anything of the sort. It would help me come to peace with the idea of passing away if I knew it was coming, like dying of old age.
