No. You cannot die this way. You could pass out and then at this point you would start to breath again due to brain function.

No. When you pass out, you'll breathe.

You would pass out first before you ever die

No, because you will pass out and forget your own nonsense. The body does not need any special instructions to start breathing.

No. If it did work, there would be thousands of dead children piled up, from centuries.

No, unless you do something to prevent yourself from breathing such as cutting off the oxygen supply to your lungs. You would simply faint and your brain would kick on to make you start breathing again automatically.

Only if you take extra measures to prevent yourself accessing oxygen, such as placing a plastic bag over your head; or sealing your mouth and nose with plasticine.
