Is it "dieing" or "dying"

A recent conversation with a friend posed the question, is it "dieing" or "dying"?
I am, (amongst other things) an "anglophone", but I hardly consider myself to be well versed in English language; the aforementioned conversation was with a "francophone" friend so neither of us would commit to an acceptable spelling for "dieing/dying" - for all the wordsmiths out there, please help clarify the correct usage for "dieing/dying", as in "in the process of death".
Have a good one!
