I was reading Tony Da Costa's Africa Report 2004, and found the following:

"On arrival at Upington, Johan and Mabel Coetzee and Deon Van Wyck of KHS met us. We were advised then that our client, Gary Duffy of California, had passed away that morning in Upington. He had completed his 5-day hunt with KHS in Namibia and rather than get up early the following morning, he wanted to spend the night in Upington... His Professional Hunter, Deon Van Wyck, who found that Gary was having a difficult time breathing, offered to take him to the hospital in Upington, but Gary refused. Gary was suffering from cancer, and had one lung removed. We believe he was aware of his condition before he left the United States. We are pleased, however, that his wish to hunt Africa was fulfilled. He died doing what he wanted most. Our prayers and thoughts are with him and his family in the United States."

I can think of much worse ways of going. This beats laying in a sterile hospital room, IMHO. I would like to have my family with me as well, though.
Just my thoughts,
Joe

Next to be killed by a jealous husband at the age of 95, that would be my choice also.
