ummmm. an ad hoc attempt to schlock-up an answer:

: "irreversible ending of the so-called (biologically-labelled; so? by *WHOM*?) life-processes =PUNKT. Followed(probably/usually) by physical dispersal/dishevelling of the organism (= living entity)'s chemical components." My best effort at the moment. Not written in stone.

All "life" as we know it now is, indeed, probably written in water; what J. Keats said. A breathtakingly real observation, his.

Death IMO is a law in the balance of nature as there is a natural balancing act between all species and any population explosion is usually followed by an equally dramatic population implosion.

The 20 century may go down as an era when homo sapien sapien expoded in plague proportions like rabbits over the Australian countryside.
