The person is asking someone if they think that they were supposed to die in some accident involving a van.
- English (US)
It depends on what is happening. It also sounds like someone might be buying a van. I would need more context to answer you the right way.

@jcking78 "my number was up" always refers to dying

@raibean if they're not a native speaker, that's not always true. Could mean they were next in line for something.

@raibean@jcking78 Thank you for answering. Actually, that was from "twilight" by Stephenie Mayer and in this case something like dying fits the context. Thank you very much.
