Actually it's surprisingly hard to do. Over the millions of years humans have been evolving, a significant part of that development has been systems that keep you from dying easily. One of those systems is pain. And so, most methods HURT.

And, for the same reasons, most methods are less than sure. Humans survive amazing injuries, including self-inflicted ones. And while some people consider suicide, very few want to injury themselves grievously and then survive it for 10 or 20 years.

To give an answer to an honest question:

The methods that ensure near instant (and hence painless) and relatively sure death tend to only include catastrophic, gruesome means and require either significant threats to others or the use of chemical energy or both.

An example would be servering the first cervical vertebra from the cerbral cortex by inserting a gun in one's mouth and inflicting a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The projectile will remain lethal for some distance after exiting the body, however, and may strike others and produce fatal wounds, depending on caliber. Missing the correct point is likely, but the release of proplenant gasses in the mouth will inflict such excessive damage that death will be highly likely and very rapid.

Falling from a great height onto a hard surface, will produce exceptional instant trauma, with the attendant risk of striking a person below.

Explosives will produce similar instant results with virtual surety of lethality given a significant charge, with an attached extreme danger to others.
