From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Death \Death\, n. [OE. deth, dea[?], AS. de[a0][?]; akin to OS.
      d[?][?], D. dood, G. tod, Icel. dau[?]i, Sw. & Dan. d[94]d,
      Goth. daupus; from a verb meaning to die. See {Die}, v. i.,
      and cf. {Dead}.]
      1. The cessation of all vital phenomena without capability of
            resuscitation, either in animals or plants.
  
      Note: Local death is going on at times and in all parts of
               the living body, in which individual cells and elements
               are being cast off and replaced by new; a process
               essential to life. General death is of two kinds; death
               of the body as a whole (somatic or systemic death), and
               death of the tissues. By the former is implied the
               absolute cessation of the functions of the brain, the
               circulatory and the respiratory organs; by the latter
               the entire disappearance of the vital actions of the
               ultimate structural constituents of the body. When
               death takes place, the body as a whole dies first, the
               death of the tissues sometimes not occurring until
               after a considerable interval. --Huxley.
  
      2. Total privation or loss; extinction; cessation; as, the
            death of memory.

      3. Manner of dying; act or state of passing from life.

                     Let me die the death of the righteous. --Num. xxiii.
                                                                              10.
  
      4. Cause of loss of life.

                     To be [?][?][?][?][?][?][?] m[?][?][?][?][?] is
                     death.                                                --Rom. viii.
                                                                              6.
  
      9. Anything so dreadful as to be like death.

      Usage: Death applies to the termination of every form of
                  existence, both animal and vegetable; the other words
                  only to the human race. Decease is the term used in
                  law for the removal of a human being out of life in
                  the ordinary course of nature. Demise was formerly
                  confined to decease of princes, but is now sometimes
                  used of distinguished men in general; as, the demise
                  of Mr. Pitt. Departure and release are peculiarly
                  terms of Christian affection and hope. A violent death
                  is not usually called a decease. Departure implies a
                  friendly taking leave of life. Release implies a
                  deliverance from a life of suffering or sorrow.
