Is death by drowning the most painless death ?? Scientifically??

Someone tells me death by drowning is the most painless death for the person dying. Is it scientifically correct ??

I agree, dying in your sleep is probably most painless, you feel nothing. Drowning is a very active and aware method of death...especially for someone who is petrified of water--like me!

I can't believe that's true. It hurts like hell to breathe in water. I imagine the most painless would be dying naturally, in your sleep.

I wouldn't agree with that.

Painless? I hardly think being in sheer panic, struggling to hold your breath and then gulping down enormous amounts of water for up to a couple of long minutes, being painless.

Being shot point blank in the head would be less painfull.
