Could you help me?

I hope to know what the diferences of the following sentences are if there are differences of them.

The first one among them is that I originally want to express.

Could you go over and tell me about it?

Thank you.

=

1. I am dying with hunger. (original)

2. I am dying of hunger.

3. I am dying from hunger.

4. I am dying by hunger.

Generally speaking, preposition use is often merely idiomatic. We say that because we like to say that.

Thanks, Clive. By the way, can I use sentence 4 when I am really being starved to death? Or it still sounds odd?

Still sounds odd.

Say I am being starved to death.
