Pain wouldn't kill you. In fact, imagine a bullet through yoru skull, if it killed you by going through your skull, you'd feel no pain because the bullet would move so fast.
It's the bullet you DON'T hear that kills you.

But if you dont die from the gun shot like if you shoot yourself in the leg and dont die but you dont treat it than you technically the bullet didnt kill you you died from loss of blood or the pain of not having enough blood in your body.

Wrong, you don't die from bloodloss, you technically suffocate from not having enough blood to circulate oxygen.

The pain could possibly kill you by sensory overload, but why kill someone with pain? It's cheaper and more effective to give a person a nice nine-millimeter hemorrhage.
The point is whether it's possible, not useful.

It's neither created nor controled by your conscious form
Unless you know how to control your body to such an extent. The mind can do a lot, and while people that use placebos don't have any idea how what they think they're taking works, it still only works because their concious mind believes it will.
In fact, knowing that, some people can take placebos that they know are simply sugar-pills and still have them work, because they know it can.

I think that you don't pass out from pain. Soliders from Veitnam who were once POW's said that during torture you don't pass out.
It is probably possible from dying from a phobia like looking off a cliff. It might scare you so badly that you're heart could stop or you could have a heart attack but I'm not sure.

Pain is the body's way of telling the brain that something is wrong here. It's a signal. But you can die of a sensory overload. I heard of guy who died because of the smell of an open sewer. I don't know of any specific cases where pain was the cause of death, but I'd bet money that it's possible.

Although I'm well aware of the placebo effect, again, that is not pain killing him, it is his belief in something that is not there, and his body reacting as though said thing is happening. Therefore, it's his belief in what is being said, rather then the pain of something, say, needles killing him. Pain is just a flashing neuron charge, it can happen without any cause at all, just the neurons firing off. The reactions to that signal can kill you, but those things are not pain. Don't clump everything together as "pain", pain is just your brain getting the signal for "damage here".

Yeah, kind of. They were seeing if they could kill him by making him believe he was dying.
It's all related to the human mind though.

How exactly did they do that? You've sparked my interest.

That's what I just said. But pain isn't entirely under your control. Though it's true that you create the feeling, you can't control it, you can only ignore it. It's neither created nor controled by your conscious form, else I wouldn't be as sore as I am right now.(P.E. was hell on thursday...) Once again, in terms of the psyche effecting the body, it's the reaction that counts, not the situation one is put in. (pain/fear, all that good stuff...)

Just like breatheing or your heartbeat isn't INITIALLY under your control. Yogi's, Shaolin Monk's and many other short japanese people have proved time and time again that it is possible to control them though.

Breathing is easy to control. Um. Holding my breath now. Breathing again, but in a random way not steady. Wow, that was really easy.
And yes, many athletes can control their heart-beat.

My point is merely that the mind is quite as important as outside factors.

Only way to resolve this argument is for people to notice that mental is (if you break it all the way down and w/ out counting the whole spirit thing) physical. If a physical thing happens to your body, your brain will sometimes react. And that REACTION is able to kill the person. The chances are very very extreme, but it is technically possible.

Dieing from pain is impossible, because under circumstances of incredible amounts of pain, your body will even shut down your nervous system, and you will black out, but you will not die from the pain, you will die from whatever is causing that intense amount of pain.
