have you experienced dreamless sleep? that's death in the long term, except you don't wake up.
if you have a heart condition the few minutes before death can be painful (or it may be painless). if you get cancer then the few weeks before can be painful.
but it's the people around you who experience you as dead; you will not be able to experience anything.

I was thinking more like "general anesthetic", whatever the spelling is. the thing where the brain is reduced to low-level stuff like heart beating and breathing.

But is dreamless sleep really dreamless or it's just your memory isn't working well for that phase?
After all there's evidence that lots of people dream and then soon forget their dreams.
