Death
Death is the end of life; it is the irreversible cessation of biological functions that sustain a living organism. Death is thought to eventually and inevitably occur in all organisms; though some organisms, such as the immortal jellyfish, are biologically immortal, they can however still die from means other than the effects of aging. Something that is not considered an organism may be said "to die" in a figurative sense when it reaches an inactive state, such as when a star runs out of fuel.

- noun(often capitalized) The personification of death as a hooded figure with a scythe; the Grim Reaper. The pronoun he is not the only option, but probably the most traditional one, as it matches with the male grammatical gender of Old English dēaþ, also with cognate German der Tod. The fourth apocalyptic rider (Bible, revelations 6:8) is male θᾰ́νᾰτος (thanatos) in Greek. It has the female name Mors in Latin, but is referred to with male forms qui and eum.
