death

death

Noun

Death is the permanent cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. It occurs when the heart stops beating, the lungs cease to function, and the brain is no longer able to maintain consciousness or regulate bodily processes. Death is a natural part of the life cycle, and it can be caused by a wide range of factors, including illness, injury, age, or genetic defects. Once an organism dies, it cannot be revived or resuscitated, and its physical remains will eventually decompose or be consumed by other organisms.

 

Example

  1. The sudden death of her beloved pet cat left her heartbroken and grieving for weeks.
  2. The doctor warned that if the patient's condition did not improve, death was a likely outcome.
  3. Despite the risks involved, some people engage in high-risk activities like skydiving or bungee jumping, seeking the thrill of flirting with death.
