No, it is not possible to consciously hold your breath until you die. The lungs would fill with carbon dioxide. The CO2 would trigger an autonomic response from the brain stem that tells the body "breathe!" Even if you tried to fight that autonomic response, you would then pass out from the high CO2 and the autonomic response would kick in anyway-- you would breathe.
