So if you do a quick search on the BBS over at the Sims2.com, you find there are a number of ways for your precious wee simmies to die.
Of course there are the 'other' ways of committing Simicide, such as the starvation in a doorless room one, or the taking the ladders out of the pool one, or the make em use the energiser when they're not in gold aspiration one. I have always used every single one of those if I had a sim I wanted to quickly knock off. I have never ever waited to let the game play out and see if I could achieve any of the Maxis EP deaths apart from old age.
And then one day I woke up and went .... "Hmmm. What IF I let the little blighters die off naturally? I wonder what that looks like?" Voila - so started my latest Simming mission - to see all the little ways of dying that I haven't yet experienced.

* Burning
* Cowplant (Uni)
* Death by Elevator Crash (Open for Business)
* Death by Flies
* Death by Rally Forth! (Open for Business)
* Death by Satellite
* Death by Sunlight (Vampires in NL)
* Disease

* Electrocution
* Freeze to Death (Seasons)
* Heat Stroke (Seasons)
* Hit by Hail (Seasons)
* Hit by Lightning (Seasons)
* Old Age
* Scared to Death
* Spontaneous Combustion (Seasons)
* Starvation
(Thanks to ModTheSims2 for this list, I really recommend their gameplay help section).
So, let's see, at the beginning of my self-imposed challenge, the only death my sims had experienced naturally, was of course, old age.
So I set out to create the situations needed for the little darlings to kick the bucket legitimately.
I have been at it for at least 5 weeks now. So far I have had success with:
* 1 Platinum Old age death. (VERY cool tombstone!) Your sim must be in platinum aspiration at the time they die of old age. I never knew this existed until it happened by accident while I was trying to knock off one of the elder concerned's children.
* 1 Death by burning. To set this up I deliberately stopped placing smoke alarms in my sims houses. Needn't have worried. I managed to kill off poor old Ferdinand's beloved wife Felicity by having her rake up leaves and then set them on fire. Their son, Felix went to her aid in a panic and caught fire too, but not wanting to destroy poor old Ferdinand completely, I had him plead with ole' Grimmie for his son's life, and he won.
* 1 Death by Satellite. This was so cool!!! I had Priya Ramaswami stargaze on the lawn for three nights, and eventually the old Satellite came and landed on her! And the bonus was the cold hard cash that came with the sale of that burning pile of space junk!
* 1 Death by Freezing. I wasn't aiming for this at all, but on one of my home businesses, in winter, one of the customers just hung around and hung around and eventually he froze to death out the back of the house. Pity I missed it! I am aiming for another one just so I can say I've seen it.
* Multiple Deaths by Cowplant. Those nannies are really gullible aren't they? Hehehe I wouldn't like to have a cowplant in a large household though - never know who might be tempted to grab the cake!
TALLY SO FAR: 5/18
And that's it so far. I'm still at it. Will update and post more as I managed to cull the herd with some of the other ways to die.

another thing I shall have to try
they were on the lot with all the ghosts from my experiments 
But no special additions to report. The MPD sounds terrible though, if I go through the trouble of making a sim get pregnant, it's safe to assume death isn't in my plans for that sim. So I think I would be very sad.
