Your last dead PC or dead PC in a game you ran. Were they expecting to die?
Did they wake up in the morning, eat their meal, or think to themselves "today is the day I die" or did it surprise them.

Nah they just ate a double-crit by a giant spider.

He wasn't expecting to die, but he knew that there was a serious chance of it. The final battle had come, and death was major possibility. The odds had been stacked against the party for the party last three years of campaigning, and this was the battle against the death knight who had stolen the power of the archlich, so he prepared himself to meet his fate. His method of death was a bit surprising, but is it too far a stretch to think that breaking a magic hammer full of trapped souls would free all the souls? Well it didn't, just let off a magic mini-nuke which vaporized him and the rest of the party instantly.
we got better though

She full well expected to die - she went off to do it, even. She'd long been so terribly tired of it all, mostly hanging on by a combination of boundless fury that fueled murderous combat rages and a single living human she was dedicated to protecting. Events, however, transpired such that she was sure said human was dead - and then, in the heart of enemy territory, the rest of the party would not let her carve a swathe through things in order to return faster and find out the truth. Rightfully so, but it nonetheless broke her. If they wouldn't help her go kill, she would instead depart to get killed, and bring along another PC that'd made a suicide pact with her before. Killing themselves both properly would be difficult, and rather than make their sisters do it, they just went off to find one final fight. Find it they did, and with token resistance, they got themselves slaughtered and torn to bits. A good ending, in the character's eyes.

I successfully conned a PC paladin into killing another PC, a Vigilante who could turn into a monster, near the end of a short campaign. The Vigilante never let anyone but me know that they could turn into a monster, so when I screamed "AAAH! Monster!" the paladin smited the hell out of the Vigilante, killing them. Naturally, they "Suddenly" (read as: Metagaming bullshit,) realized through my bullshit-huge bluff roll over their shit sense motive roll that I was the instigator, and went to kill me for it. I ran to the door of the bar, but "Magically" the ghost of the player was able to grab my belt, pantsing me, and the other player killed me.
It might be instant karma for what I did, yes.
But on the other hand, It was utter, absolute metagaming bullshit and handwaved fucking hard by the DM because lul. So they died because I conned someone else into killing them for me, and I died because DM fiat.
All in all, I'd call that a win.

Didn't see it coming at all

To shreds you say....

Yes, they fully knew the dangers of fighting a red dragon, and warned the party that it's gonna be a suicide mission, and they're all gonna die for nothing.
Ironically, my character was the only one who died.

You kinda expect that kind of shit when you're a space marine, but it always seems not fair when it happens.
Carter Foster
he fell to his death in a bottomless chasm.
He was carrying the mcguffin, too.

But why did you do it? Did the Vigilante do something to you in the night by the campfire or was your PC just that much of an asshole? Did he just hate monstrous abominations?
