There's a video out there of a man drinking a glass of water, then shooting himself in the head. Why did he drink the glass of water?

to be comfortable, physiological needs fulfill themselves relatively unconsciously

he drinks a bottle of water, but that detail in that video always fucked with me too. it;s like even in his last moment he can't let go of his bodily needs. who cares if you are thirsty if you are about to blast yourself? at the same time, taking a drink of water could be calming and it's also like "alright lets do this boi" even if its only for the connotation of drinking water before strenuous exercise and therefore not being dehydrated afterward it would make sense in the moment

Why do death row inmates get to eat their final meal before they get the chair? Maybe this guy just really likes drinking water and he wanted that to be his final experience

Maybe he was drinking it ironically

you will be reincarnated as the last thought before death. he reminded himself of it.
It is about simple awareness — awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, that we have to keep reminding ourselves, over and over: “This is water, this is water."

Because people actually derive pleasure from eating their favorite foods. Water feels great when clenching your thirst but the way thr guy did it made it seem like nothing special to him.

There's a text out there describing a man learning a melody on the flute while the hemlock was prepared, he is then poisoned. Why did he learn a melody on the flute? someone asked him.

"At least I will learn this melody before I die", he answered.

His name was DFW.

Because death remains a concept for the entirety of our lives and never becomes a reality, not even after dying.
