Every human dies because the central nervous system gets unplugged. This happens in many ways, but primarily either the cardiopulmonary system stops, which tells the brain to shut down or the brain stops, which tells the heart and lungs to give up.
In reality, this is harder to accomplish than it sounds, and it's human nature not to check out without a fight. So people are actually hard to kill. A bullet to the head is effective, but stabbings, for instance, are time-consuming, difficult, and messy. Poisons are slow, strangling is tough, and folks just don't stand there while being axed. So when you write the "perfect murder scene," think about how realistically you kill your victim.
