   I put answer of your question in following three categories:
   1st Case: Natural Death
   In this case, People can see their death duration in between some margin of time, but they cannot predict proper time.
   So I give 75% Probability to this case.
   2nd Case: Accidental Death
   In this case, People die with unexpected reasons such as natural disasters (Earthquake, Tsunami, etc.) or by human made errors like accidents in traveling, death by suddenly heart attack, workers can die by industries machines errors etc.
   So I give 0% Probability to know death time when will they die.
   3rd Case: Suicide
   This is happens when people have no choice to live on beautiful planet earth and due some reasons whatever personal, familiar, loss in business, very high interests, love etc., they choose to die.
   So L give 100% Probability to know death time.

   I have some experience with this, on my family, at least. My grandfather, for example, looked perfectly fine the week before he died. He had no apparent health problems and his doctor never detected any serious health issues during the year of his death.
   
   Some days before he died, he started talking about several things about his life, told his children he loved them and told them to not worry, because he'd be going soon. Nobody took him seriously, obviously, since he seemed better than ever.
   
   He died a few days later in his sleep. In fact, my mother didn't even notice he was dead till she tried to wake him up for the third time, since he looked very peaceful and as if he were confortably sleeping. The ideal way to day, if you ask me.

   My whole life I was very close to my grandfather. He was given 1 year to live 11 years ago and faught to live until 3 weeks ago. i was heading to Europe for 5 weeks in June/July so my grandparents came over the night before I left to say goodbye. That night I knew it would be the last time I saw my grandpa even though he was no sicker/better than usual. The last few days of my trip I knew something was wrong with him, I could feel it. My family didn't want me to know so I would enjoy myself but I got it out of them. I saw him one last time when I got home and he knew he was going to die but he waited for me. He defied medical odds even though he knew he was dying to wait, he stopped eating and talking the day I got back and passed away two days later.

    My grandmother, God bless her soul, a day before she died was very happy. She was happy because her entire family (6 kids, 18 grand kids) was together after almost two decades. We had gathered for a family reunion and it was then when I heard her saying "Now I am ready to die because I got to see all my kids at once" Well the old lady stuck to her words because the next day she suffered a stroke. It was very sudden however quick. I would have replied no to this question if I had not witnessed that incident. However I think even though they have some inkling about their fate, I don't think they are afraid. I think people are pretty excited - they just don't know they are excited about death. They are excited about the unknown and I chose to believe it is because it is their time to go to a better place

    Very interesting question.  A family member of mine died a few years ago.  The week before his death, he took several of his relatives, including me out to dinner on separate occasions.  He didn't say that he was going to die.  However, after he passed away, many of us shared how he had taken us out to dinner on separate occasions, and we all thought it odd that he felt the need to have these last dinners.  To me this says a lot about how God communicates with us without clearly providing reasons.  I am sure that my family member had a strong feeling that he should meet with us all separately without knowing why he had those feelings.

    I believe that if people think negatively about living and decide when they will die, then if they do it long and hard enough then it will happen.
    
    When someone decides that they want to live then and they think long and hard and positive about it, then it will happen. They will have a long and happy life.
    
    
    You cannot decide on the exact time that you will die at, or live to, but you can have a longer or shorter life depending on how uou think. Negatively or positively. It has to do with your mind and your inner self, and taking care of your outer self. Besides things like eating properly, proper sleep, etc.

    The clearest answer would be that no one knows, because people who are here to answer the question have not experienced death. But in reality death is something that happens to your body and not your mind. Death is similar to going to sleep, you can feel it but even you dont know when it happens. According to human knowledge people does feel the death before it just like sleep but like any other feeling we may not try to understand it. Another psychological throry sujjests that thinking about something over and over leads you to the situation that you have thought. Many inventors like Thomas Edison used to think about inventing repeatedly to invent things.Another example is Michael Phelps who had won 9 gold medals in Olympics, Phelps thinks repeatedly about winning the medel just before he starts his swimming.Thus people who thinks they are going to die would die soon because their body and mind would prepare to die sooner.

    Yes, but it depends largely on your relationship with God.
    
    God is a gentleman and will not impose on someone who wanted nothing to do with Him, or His church, his whole life.
    
    But for many who have accepted, and surrendered to eventuality, He gives dying grace - an emotional and spiritual state that removes the terror of dying.
    
    So yes, they do know and in a way look forward to eternal life.

    I looked this up because I believe that i am dying. No i havent been diagnosed with anything. But i can feel it inside me that something is wrong. I have had a strange calmness begin over the last few weeks and what now looking back what felt like a turbulent mind a whirlwind mind has slowed and an odd feeling of calmness has entered my body and mind. One ive never experienced before. I know my mum knew she was going to die before being diagnosed with cancer she told me. I feel like everything is ok everything is calm everything has slowed. Im not running anymore. I am at ease. I can feel physical symptoms too. I was a registered nurse. I am happy to leave if it happens. I feel that life tiredness,  someone explained,  i have found myself sorting stuff,  just like when i nested preaparing for the birth of my children. I guess thats why i looked up this question to see if other ppl knew of ppl who felt like i do before they died.

    Some people know about their death.  But some don't. It depends on each individual's circumstances, place and time.  I have just attended a young man who died 28 days ago. 
    
    He had told his wife what went wrong with his health. He was under going medical treatment from the doctors for his hepatitis for long period.  But started taking nature cure process.  That might have ended his life.
    
    Sad but true I was the person who had recommended him the natural medicine.
    He has left behind some poems in his last days. One of his poem has been posted by his son.

    Some people know when they are going to die because of their declining poor health. Most people don't know when they are going to die though. A lot of people try to predict when they are going to die, and some of the predictions come true by coincidence. But, I guarantee, a teenager walking across a busy cross-section does not know he will get hit by a car and will die shortly after.

    My brother passed a month ago and he was 34 years old. He died from retroperitoneal infection. We didn't find out about the infection until he could no longer take the pain and went to the ER. Before this he had only been sick for less than two weeks , complaining about pain , but the doctors had diagnosed him wrong. Me and my mom were finally gonna go visit him after 5 years of not seeing him because he was in a different country and I was helping my mother get her legal stuff together so she could go with me to visit him since he couldn't visit us. I believe my brother sense his death but didn't really understand it. Before his death when he wasn't even sick, he spoke a lot about death. He always said he wanted to die young , but he talked about death more and more a couple of months before his death. I kinda felt it to because once my mom had everything she needed and I bought the ticket three months out to go see him I had made a comment to myself about all going to well and it would be crazy if something happened to him before we reached him. I also had a thought in my mind that I wanted my brother to be in my future child's life and how important it was to me for him to be in my life. Why would I make comments like that and himself as well when we didn't know what was going to happen. He died unexpectedly and it all happen so quick! I just don't understand why when we were finally going to go see him. We were all just so close! I loved him so much,we had a special bond! Why would he die once everything was going good and we were finally gonna go and see him after so many years! I will never understand it and I will never understand how and why he made those comments about death more frequently before his passing when he wasn't aware that he was going to die!

    The fact is even if we are able to know when we are going to die most of us would be least interested to know it because it's better not to know it and die a sudden death than to know it and die everyday waiting for the same. Death is the most certain thing to happen in our life decided from our birth itself but than also we are very much afraid of it and try to avoid and ignore it as if we are going to live for ever... for more on the Life, Death & God feel free to go through the below article :-

    I think it depends on the person. I do believe that a person can sense that they are going to die before it happens. Just like i believe that there are people (and i do know 2 of them that does this), that can sense if someone is going to die soon or not. They have never failed over the years and it is a bit scary to know.
