Hard to say. and it depends probably on the manner of death. The thing that kills you could be painful. If your asleep or in a coma or unconscious, you wont know dying, or dead. I have heard that the brain can remains conscious for up to 5 minutes after "death" but then you wouldn't feel anything as the body, pain receptors and such would no longer function. Not even sure if you could see or hear... in my mind it might be akin to being in a dark room that's shrinking - to me sounds scary, but not painful.
And of course there is the whole concept of death ending pain. So I guess I don't think it hurts when you die, though it could hurt before you die, and since I don't really gell with the whole separate soul thing I don't think it hurts after you die either (seeing how an active body is needed for pain)

Maybe once your brain starts shutting down or your body goes into shock,,,then you won't feel so much pain.....My brother broke his leg once really bad by slamming his Motor Cycle into a truck....He didn't realize his pain for a bit....his body was in shock..
There's always the option that people never die, they just lose all sensation and are buried in the ground to watch worms eat them while they sit and wonder when they'll fall asleep.
That's hard to explain, you know once you're dead you won't know or remember so it doesn't matter if it hurts or doesn't when you get killed 'cos it'll go away shortly so, no it doesn't hurt when you die 'cos you're dead and you won't feel it (any more). It's like saying, "Everyone who said they're dead is lying.

who knows... there's only one way to find out... Joking apart, I think we won't know much about it so why not stop thinking about it and live your life to the full while your here. Only a suggestion
My friend has a theory you never die you just can't communicate anymore, so when they bury you, you are still thinking and can see everything.... It is a horrible theory!
Yep, I have that thoery too. I don't really agree with it, but only because I believe death will come as a surprise and will fit no theory of death that people can think of. We can barely grasp the concept of life, how can we understand death?
Let's say you are lying down on the floor. You feel your heart beat and then suddenly it stops. You won't die right away. Instead, since your heart is not pumping anymore blood, the oxygen in your blood will soon become the carbon dioxide and will not be usable by your cells. This will cause you to lay there without any oxygenated blood and you will be too weak to get up. After a few minutes, while your eyes are open you will start to lose vision. It will slowly fade away and then you die. No pain there. Except the fear of suffocating.
Some people tend to see a vision when their sight fades away.

Whatever the cause, you always die of heartfailure. It can be the brain no longer sending the heart signals, or the heart itself stopping because of injury or intoxication. Death sets in when your vital organs are restricted from oxygen, and this itself is quite painless as all nerve-signals are at a very low point and aren't registered properly anymore.
That doesn't mean the road towards that point can't be hell, the cause of death can be painfull beyond imagination, death itself is like falling asleep. Atleast, by what I have read and figure.
Yep, your last thought in your present life is the first thought in your next life...think about that one...it might be your last though...or is that your first thought...
