Slow Painful death vs Sudden death

I have seen few people around me who have been victim to slow painful death (cancer and other ailments) and few sudden deaths (caridiac arrest, dangerous accidents).
I feel sudden fast deaths are always better.. what do you feel, guys?

Sudden death is better for the individual in terms of the avoidance of suffering. Slower death is better for the loved ones in terms of closure although they likely wouldn't want you to suffer. In reality, sudden death is the kindest. It's a shock to the system for the loved ones but in time they'd likely be grateful that it happened that way, if it had to happen at all. I'd choose sudden death.
