I wanna die covered in warpaint and doll heads while wielding a terribly impractical weapon like a chainsaw on a rope. I wanna die so hard that when I arrive in hell, they already have a statue of me erected.

As instantaneously and painlessly as possible and preferably on my own terms.
I'm not sure of the best way of achieving this practically. Shooting myself in the head seems like it would work, but guns aren't readily available in the UK and I've heard of people surviving being shot in the head before, which is something I'd definitely want to avoid.
The method that has been floating around in my head most for the past couple of months is jumping head first off of the tallest easily accessible building I can think of (specifically a multi-storey car park which I think has an accessible roof or at least some openings on the lower floors I could climb out through). I figure that would cause enough damage to kill me on impact, but again, the risk of surviving with just a broken neck and severe brain damage, or maybe just a bunch of broken bones if I panic and fail to land on my head, isn't appealing. Jumping at night, with as few bystanders around as possible, might delay medical attention long enough for me to bleed out on the pavement in the event that I survive. Not ideal, but should get the job done and I doubt I'd be conscious even if I was alive at that point, so the result is pretty much the same as far as my experience of it goes.
Hiding in the woods and overdosing is another possible route to death, but it would probably be far from instantaneous and I'd have to somehow find out how to acquire the appropriate drugs and make sure that they're ones that I know will reliably kill me, both aspects of which are outside my realm of knowledge.
Cutting a major blood vessel could work, but it seems like it would be painful and I wouldn't trust myself to get it right.
Other more outlandish ideas include:
- going to a remote area, making a bomb and blowing myself up (impractical, relies on me successfully making a functional bomb and I'd probably end up getting arrested somewhere along the way)
- standing in an open area and holding up a metal rod, in the middle of a storm (unreliable, could survive, could end up standing in a field like an idiot)
- going somewhere extremely cold (I've heard dying of cold feels quite pleasant towards the end, but the hassle of travelling to such a place seems too high)
- swimming out to sea until I die of exposure or drown (not a pleasant way to go and I'd have to travel to the coast)
- becoming violent enough that law enforcement has no choice but to kill me (impractical and I'd rather not harm or inconvenience others on my path to destruction)

Peacefully, in my sleep, without me knowing what night it's coming. That's the best way to die, I think.
Sometime after my parents have passed away. They've done so much for me and don't deserve to see me die before them.
Also sometime before I lose my mind to old age.
No preferences regarding how. Something quick I guess.

Falling from the sky screaming, at the target of my choosing, as to make the biggest mess possible so that they might be finding parts of me years after the event. Right now that target would be our local wal-mart. Maybe some little girl would one day find an exploded tooth behind the peanutbutter 2 years after my death. Her horrified screams would put a smile on my face in the afterlife, however it presents itself.
Setting my Jaeger, Playboy Red's, plasma drive to overload in an epic fight to defend Gotham City from a Category 4 Kaiju. And of course, my copilot gets rescued by SuperGirl 'cause I'm selfish and want the glorious death all to myself.
Sitting on a nuclear bomb.
Upon detonation, your body, tissues, etc would be vaporised to plasma gas at a speed so fast it outpaces nerve conduction by a vast amount. This means you would be dead without knowing it had happened/feel ANY pain of any sort.
Kinda the best way IMO.

I want to go out in a cataclysmic natural event. I don't want to die with the rest of humanity in the next extinction event but something like the Tunguska event: I'm alone somewhere in the wilderness, there's a mysterious spike on global seismological activity detection equipment, fragments of me are potentially found decades and centuries later in the brand new impact crater the Earth has.
Given how unlikely that kind of death is though, I'd also be open to an Acme-style Cartoon death. If a safe or an anvil were to fall on my head from a high altitude I would be perfectly fine with that since I would probably be killed instantly and at least a couple of onlookers would chuckle at the sheer strangeness of my sudden demise. If the death is caught on video I would demand it to be edited with a slide-whistle and put on as many Death-themed websites as humanly possible.

Laughing maniacally as Rl;yeh rises from the waves and Cthulhu's tomb-door opens.
On a more realistic note, in my sleep. I have enough stress in my life. Hopefully I can at least go peacefully when the time comes.

OH! i don't want to die but one day i will..................... 
so I would prefer to die peacefully, of natural causes after living a nice and happy life.

Yea, I am with you non this. I want to choose when I go and how. I would rather be immortal.. even if that means I have to chop some jerk's head off.Vendor-Lazarus said:
