That moment of death

When someone dies, whether a public figure or a private citizen, most times it is said they died peacefully.

What does that mean?

" 'Peaceful' refers to the dying person having finished all business and made peace with others before his/her death and implies being at peace with his/her own death. It further refers to the manner of dying: not by violence, an accident or a fearsome disease, not by foul means and without much pain."
