Best Answer

You will die from lack of oxygen, or you will hurt your lungs.

You can't hold your breath too long to die. If you starve the brain of oxygen you will become unconscious at which point your autonomic systems will start you breathing again.

You can be prevented from breathing which will cause death through asphyxiation, but that is not dying from holding your breath.
