Death is a term that derives from the Latin decessus . The concept refers to the death of a person. For example: "The doctor reported that the singer's death occurred at three in the morning" , "Sadness over the death of the legendary French actor" , "The police are investigating the causes of the death of a young man whose body appeared on the shore of the river.”
The idea of death has several synonyms, such as death , death , and expiration . These notions refer to the end of life as a result of the impossibility of maintaining homeostasis. Permanent interruption of systemic functions, including brain functions, causes death.
Different causes of deaths
If death occurs due to an illness or as a consequence of old age , it is said to be natural . Death can also be due to induced causes : a murder , an accident , a suicide , etc.
It is always important to determine the cause of a death since this information could indicate whether a crime occurred. Suppose an elderly man is found dead in his home: he may have died naturally from a heart attack or been poisoned, to name two possibilities.
Later rituals
Deaths give rise to various rituals that vary according to each culture . Usually some type of farewell or tribute is offered to the deceased individual, which is carried out in the presence of their corpse. The remains can then be placed in a cemetery or cremated.
Some people believe that death marks the end of existence ; others, however, maintain that there is a “life” beyond death, in another dimension or plane. There are also those who have faith in reincarnation : in this case, the deceased subject could return to this world but in another body.
