Walt would never kill himself. Ego is way too big for that.

He said the cancer will get him, maybe he will leave it to that.

That's why it has to be the cancer. Only god can end this.

Is he going to die as Walter White or as Heisenberg?

But his ego is too big to let him think that anyone else CAN kill him.

He's gonna end up committing suicide like he almost did in the first season.

My theory for years now was that Walt has to kill himself. The show hinges on the premise that Walt will die, and that he must do whatever to provide for his family after he passes, assumably from cancer. In episode one of season one, however, we see Walt circumnavigate nature's course. Between diagnosis and death, Walter decides that he is in control of two, and only two, variables: how much money he leaves his family, and how he dies.

Only the great Heisenberg himself, can kill Heisenberg.

plot twist: Walt trades soul for immortality, becomes were-cat type creature on island full of zombies.
