The Sims 3 - Ghosts

Ghosts appear after your Sims die. It was also made possible to create them in CAS in Supernatural. There are many causes of death throughout the store items and all of the expansion packs. Here is a complete list of causes of death and that ghost's color:

Death Causes and Colors

Fire - Orange (Base Game) - if your Sims is too close to the object that is on fire and they aren't extinguished fast enough, they may die. 

Starvation - Magenta (Base Game) - if your Sim doesn't eat while the "Hungry", "Very Hungry", and "Starving" moodlet are in your Sim's moodlet bank, they will die as soon as the time on the moodlet runs out.

Electrocution - Yellow (Base Game) - if your Sim attempts to fix an electrical object with a low handy skill, they may get electrocuted. They can also be shocked if they try to fix an appliance or electric object while standing in a puddle of water. 

Drowning - Blue (Base Game) - drowning occurs rarely but can happen if your Sim is swimming with low energy they may start drowning. Sims can now climb out of pools even if they don't have ladders, which EA must have included in a patch or update.

Age - Gray (Base Game) - when your elder Sim's time comes, they will randomly die. 

Mummie's Curse - Gold (World Adventures) - when your Sim is cursed by a Mummy, they have 14 days to be cured or they will die. 

Meteor - Dark Orange (Ambitions) - when a meteor falls out of the sky and your Sim is in the way...

Death by Thirst [Vampires only] - Dark Red (Late Night) - if your Vampire doesn't drink plasma juice or drink another Sim's blood before the "Madly Thirsty" moodlet runs out of time, they will turn to dust, dying.

Age [Pets] - Red or Indigo (Pets) - if the Pet that dies has less than 10,000 Lifetime Reward Points, their ghost will appear red. If they have more than 10,000, it will be indigo. Same way of death as Sim. 

Magic Tricks - Invisible (Showtime) - [Buried Alive] failing to escape correctly.

Magic Tricks - Dark Blue (Showtime) - [Watery Grave] failing to escape correctly.

Haunting Curse [Witch only] - Dark Green (Supernatural) - when your Sim attempts to cast the Haunting Curse and it backfires, it will kill them.

Magic Jelly Beans - Dark Purple (Supernatural) - after purchasing a Magic Jelly Bean tree and eating the beans off it, there is a chance that they may die after ingestion. 

Transmutation - Bright Gold (Supernatural) - when your Sim attempts the spell of the Philosopher's Stone but the spinning of the plumbob goes awry, it will turn your Sim into gold.

Freezing - Icy Blue (Seasons) - if your Sim freezes and no one bothers to heat them back up, they with harden and die.

Cow Plant - Magenta (Store) - the plant will simply gobble your Sim up.

Blunt Force Trauma [Vending Machine] - Light Red (University Life) - when your Sim is just a little bit too broke and tries just a little bit too hard, they end up causing the vending machine to fall back on them.

Blunt Force Trauma [Murphy Bed] - Light Red (University Life) - when your Sim pulls down the Murphy bed, there's always that chance it'll give away and crush them.

Ranting - Lime Green (University Life) - your Sim can choke from ranting too hard in which case they will die.

Running out of Air - Turquoise (Island Paradise) - from scuba-diving.

Dehydration [Mermaids only] - Yellow/Gold (Island Paradise) - when your Mermaid spends too much time out of the water and in the sun, they will dry up.

Shark Attack - Purple/Red (Island Paradise) - when your Sim is caught in a shark attack, the sharks devour the Sim whole, leaving the bones behind.

Pit Monster - Blue (Store) - if your Sim is taken by the tentacles of the Pit Monster, start planning their funeral.

Jetpack Fail - Orange (Into the Future) 

Time Anomaly - Brown (Into the Future)

There is one ghost that is not linked to any death which is the Hologram ghost. If you have Supernatural installed, you can choose this form when creating a ghost in CAS.

After your Sim dies, their remains can be brought to the Science Facility where they may be revived.
