How about your computer getting a space-aged computer virus and shutting off the life support to your pod?

How about racing your self destruct timer while docking only to have the station controller that guides your ship to your hangar forget to disable the self destruct.
Not only are you dead, but a few thousand station inhabitants die. You fly back in your clone to watch others scooping the few remaining intact items from your hangar and salvaging the wrecks of your other ships.
Would the station guns open fire on your clone as you approached?

To steal an idea or two from Elite:
1. Make so all ships need fuel to warp (liquid Hydrogen?) - run out of fuel at high warp = carry on til you die of boredom/eject (did this in First Encounters a few times).
2. small % chance of jump-drive malfunction added to game, increasing on each jump unless you have the ship serviced regularly = drive explodes killing you in your ship or drive melts leaving you stranded wherever you are.
I also think planets and moons should be solid & anything bigger than a pod should damage/destroy your ship if you crash into it (pods bounce off or 'splode doing little damage) crashing into a station would, if your pod survived, get Concord on your ass to podkill you

Windows based Starship operating systems meens that your computer randomly activates the self destruct system for no reason... more importantly while your afk at a gate.. so you think it was sucide ganked!

Well, if you mean die as in losing your ship... I heard once that you could eject from your inty while it was hauling ass and it would sail off into the distance and never be seen again. Never saw it myself, and this was back in 2006 so maybe it some RMR bug... Who knows.
If it were true it'd probably have to be pre-RMR since the game never behaved that way since I joined not long after the patch.
Another story from before my time harkens back to the days when torps had splash damage. A pilot ejected his ship to board another ship he had been firing upon but his torpedo boat didn't stop firing and he podded himself with his own torp splash damage. 
It is true enough. I just can not remember how far back we have to go.
I can also remember a time when you could eject after you had initiated warp and the ship would still enter warp by it self. I used that once to have a fleet of ghost rookie ships move around the system.
An odd kill would be the m0o member who killed him self. Another old story from the time when torpedoes would travel very slowly. After having launched a large barrage against the victim, the victim ejects ship and our hero boards it only to have it seconds later blow up to his own torpedoes.
I remember giving dock command and ejecting from ship just before it was in range (pre warp to zero) but i dont remember why we were doing this... maybe not able to leave ship in station... cant remember

oh i konw one, lmao
like my first day in FW, we were in tama on the nourv gate (i konw, i know, what else is new) but we were in tama on the nourv gate, and some guy in a drake uncloaks trying to jump through the gate, but apparently he couldnt/ thought we wouldnt fire, anyway we pop his drake in like 30 seconds easy, and then i get a lock on the poor saps pod, and the FC tells me NOT to shoot was going to be my frist pod kill, and the FC tells me not to shoot him, but i soon found out why. . .
apparently the FC has a thing for making people in their pods his "pet" because he told me not to shoot, but to keep him warp scrambled and webbed, so i did, and some other guy also came in and scrammed/ webbed the poor fella, and we made him our "pet" lmao, he just sat there, inching at like 1 m/sec towards the gate, and the FC was like "i wonder how long before he realizes he's going to have to self destruct?" LMAO it still makes me laugh, because if this guy wouldnt self destruct his ship to get away, he must have had a pretty penny's worth of implants, because he didnt self destruct, and when his friends showed up some 10-15 minutes later, wwith us still laughing, we snuffed him out, so im going to guess he had a few hundred million/ about a billion in implants
so add that to the list:
becoming someone's "pet" in your pod, and having them name you "squishy", i think that is in the top 5 in "interesting way to die"

Well, I've been blue-screened and relogged to find myself in my pod.
I love it when the emergency warp fails to activate.
I liked that manticore.

Suddenly, asteroids from all sides begin closing in.
You try to shoot them, but each shot only breaks the asteroid into two smaller fragments.
Though you fight bravely, one finally reaches you. Your ship flashes a few times, beeps, and then disappears with a little pop.
You're asked to enter your initials for CONCORD highscore purposes.
This post wins, thread over tbh.
holy shit! this is epic!

A little static in your cargo hold detinated all of your 20k missiles then your ship blows up. that would be interesting

I would invent a Black Hole Generator, then deploy it outside Jita 4-4.
I'll vote for getting your Titan slowly eaten by all of Goonswarm in rookie ships.
Then the Titan DDDs for several thousand kills : P

I'm fond of thinking about what would happen if people I disliked jumped into a system and emerged within another ship.
Of course, two things occupying the same space is an impossibility, and people who commit impossibilities tend to meet unfortunate ends. I'm banking on a rather large explosion.

Yup. It was a way to dock your ship and be left in space in your pod. Worked well in 0.0 when you couldn't find a shuttle.

In the final days of beta I undocked from a station at found that my Ibis had become stuck in a Bantam making some kind of Ibis/Bantam hybrid ship. I warped the hybrid to the stargate, he warped us back to station and then me to the stargate. We could have been going on like that forever.

I would say jumping into a group of over 20 drakes, ravens and a few caracals would be an interesting way to die..... oh wait, sry, you wanted interesting.... ummm....

back in the days of dual micro warp drive ravens there was a guy in m0o corp ,cant recall the name' might have been stravos, but i digress , fired a bunch of torps at an enemy bs 70k away the guy ejected so he warped to it ejected and got podded by his own torps..
back then torps did splash damage...
yes this is a true story

Eaten by space whales. 'nuff said.
I'll have to cast my vote for organic spacebeasts eatting my ship. Imagine watching a giant spacesquid phase in beside your ship mid-mission, suck your ship into its gaping maw, then slowly phase out again before you appear in the clone vat. There's really not much to say to that!
