Supposedly drowning is relatively peaceful. I can't imagine burning to death would be.

@Zaphod42 who said that? I dont see how not being able to breathe could be peaceful

@iamnikki An account by someone who drown and was revived. They said the initial terror was pretty bad, but once you let go and breath in that first lungful of water the terror subsides and it's a fairly peaceful fade to black.

@Zaphod42 wow. Wonder how that felt though. Breathing in water like that. How long was he under?

@iamnikki It's been years since I read the account, but as I recall it was a long time...like technically dead for 3 or 4 minutes.
