Since human mortality seems to be the theme of 2020, I've been giving thought to the worst way possible to die. Not just the worst way, but the way that induces the most dread. For example, dying in the Sarlaac (from Star Wars) would be an extremely horrible way to die, being digested over 1,000 years. On the other hand, because it is extremely unlikely to happen, it's not going to be worrisome to anyone who isn't a galactic bounty hunter with a jet pack.
Statistically, human beings have a 98% chance of dying at some point in their lifespan (+/- 2% margin of error) so this is a topic which should interest most of us.
I purposely chose not to include a poll because it would limit types of deaths into specific categories such as 'gruesome', 'lonely', painful', 'embarrassing', etc. The manner of death you describe should be that which fills you with the most dread. For some, that might be a death by COVID (very topical). For others, being snuffed out with the remainder of life on Earth by a gamma ray burst from a distant star.
I'll start it out with what I consider a particularly terrible way to die...
"Dying of a slow and painful cancer (such as bone or rectal), in a cut-rate nursing home, with dementia and your family never visit."

That is probably the most common form of death. It's the only form of death that continues AFTER you're dead.

Not going to say lest it happen to me.

Talking which way? About death? Death and Birth are arguably the most shared human experiences. Writers like Chekhov and Tolstoy talked about it endlessly.

If how we die isn't relevant, why do we (humans) spend so much time thinking about it?
Death and disease account for about 25% of all the content on this site.
