Several years ago a driver was caught in a fire and could not get out. Third degree burns over 95 percent of his body. This is the first time someone pointed out how dumb this saying is. It has stuck with me to this day. No one wants to be in a car on fire knowing that your death is near. Dying in a car is not what anyone loves.

The saying is "died doing what he/she loved". It means they were killed doing something they enjoyed (I.e. Racing). It does not mean the person wanted to die doing it. Or at least that's how I take it.
