The Conditions of a Martyr in the Hereafter

Question
A woman’s younger brother died while fasting as a result of a hit-and-run accident. Is it possible to detail other conditions in which a person may die and be considered a martyr?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: a sudden death is considered a martyr, like those who die in a fire, drowning, or from internal illness, and Allah knows best.
