My highest body count goes to the traveling shovel of death because I have a tendency to go wild with the killing during NaNoWriMo so statistically speaking death by shovel would be my favorite, I also get the most creative and contrived deaths here.
My favorite way to kill my characters off though is in a blink and you miss it line while the story is focused on something else. They also tend to be very simple deaths and almost always for characters I intended to die from their creation.
One of my characters was busy getting his eyeball an inside look at a magic spell (he lives)and I use one sentence to casually mention that the other one just got ran through with a sword.
Another character was going to get a kind of bad injury and when the healing magic took over fall face down in a pond and drown. (one of the few things that can actually kill him) But then I did not kill him. He is going to die at some point in the future though.
And this thread is very entertaining to read.
