Hey lovers! Or not-so-lovable lovers....WHOEVER IS READING THIS! I NEED YOUR CREATIVE SKILLZ! Well, not SO creative. I just need help. I want to work on another short-story saga based around death. I know I know you all are probably rolling your eyes saying "stupid goth, that's what 'Everett's Redemption' and 'Suicide' were for" but THIS IS DIFFERENT!
As you know, I'm a pacifist and I want to make a semi-point with this by exploring the different ways/reasons people die. However I'm not sure i have them all, so please help me brainstorm! Here's what I have so far! Keep in mind not only WAYS people die but WHY people are killed.
Anyways, here's my brainstorming:

-a soldier in war killing (and dying)
-a general deciding to fight offensive (AKA Hitler)
-a general deciding to fight defensive (AKA Britain WWII)
- a general deciding to fight for future safety (AKA U.S. WWII)
-a murderer (psychotic/aka pedophiles)
-a suicide
-death by old age
-death by disease
-death by broken-heart
-a martyr
-a death-row criminal
-a terrorist
-killing out of self-defense
-an accident
-a school-shooting (hate-crime)
-a massacre of innocents (AKA Holocaust)
-killing out of anger
-killing out of fear (aka blackmail)
-killing to protect others
-killing out of revenge
-killing for honor (Samurai)
-death by drugs
-death by alcohal
-killing for power (aka rise in station)
-starvation
-dehydration


I'm going to make an episode out of every method looking through either the killer or the killed's eyes and bring it together to make one mass book hopefully opening people's eyes as to why people shouldn't have to die (or why they should). Any more ideas on how/why people die?

I do believe it's possible. If my fiance` died...just the THOUGHT stresses my heart so much that if he DID die I feel my heart would prolly give out. I do believe death by broken heart is so possible.

twould be important to include somethign similar to what happened to Elijah (probably spelled wrong) he didn't die at all, he got to go straight from earth to heaven!!! :) I envy him!

People have also died because they were struck down by God, because of problems in surgery, because of natural or human-caused disaster, because of old age, because of physical problems (not diseases but other physical ailments), because of involvement in a cult, or to save another person or persons. There have also been people killed for pleasure (or many types), because of mental illness, for treason and other crimes, for ideals, by malicious negligence, by mistake, or simply because the person involved believed they had no other choice.
