actually it is impposible. cause you can hold your breath untill you pass out, then when you pass out, your body atomaticly breaths by its self. but you can die if you somehow keep your mouth and nose closed and there is no way air can enter it, such as if you use duct tape or gule or something to keep it close, then yes, you can die.

Some folks (children especially due to youth respiratory and still growing nervous system physiology specifics) can develop “syncope” (fainting event), most commonly caused by a vaso-vagal reaction. This physiological reaction can trigger serious chain of pathological events which could lead to vascular collapse, cardiac arrest and brain damage as a result of hypoxia (severe oxygen depletion). If you are a swimmer /diver you have to gradually exercise for appropriate safe breath-holding techniques.
