When Will You Die?

I anticipate I will die at the end of my life.
How are you defining death? Or perhaps that is your point?
Secret Chief
nirvana is samsara
I die every moment and am born every moment. Or: I was never born and I will never die. I'm good with either.
I didn't define death. That's on you.
90 what?
My great grandmother said she wouldn't be old until she was 90. She died at 89.
I guess one can avoid old age.
The actuaries tell me I'll die in 2034, when I'm about 96. Statistically, they're on good ground.
I think I'll die when I stop breathing and my brain cells stop talking to each other.

But what if what you mean by "I" is an artifact, a construct, of the "prison" itself? (Because, religious beliefs aside, every miniscule scrap of scientific evidence says that is so), doesn't "leaving the flesh" also means "ceasing to be?"
Suave
Simulated character
I expect lights out and game over will occur to me as the ionic currents cease flowing across my cerebral neurons,
Well I think my soul died at the end of my shift last night, if that counts?
My body will cease to function in 52 years but it will be a graduation to a better life.
My first and last death was January 17th, 1982
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I naturally died in February 2017.
However I'm on an extended leave atm..
Probably will hop off the boat in 2030 -2040 for a bit of a respite until morning wakes me up in God knows where.
As I suspected!
So I don’t believe the soul/spirit that is who I really am ever dies. My current material (physical) body will die when its time has come.
I'm already dead inside.
But physically? I have no idea. 2067/76 or so.

There was that time when I was on a training ride on my bike and was hit head on by a car. Had a few seconds where I thought I was gonna die. Nope. God intervened on behalf of an atheist. Only two hours in the ER, and was back on a bike the next day.
Then there was the time I t-boned a car doing about 25 on my bike. Thought I was done for. Nope. God intervened again on behalf of an atheist. I won the state championship cyclocross race the following week.
So I might live to be over 100.
