You left out [[asphyxia]] in the intro to the article. I would propose just after starvation and dehydration. [[Special:Contributions/50.64.119.38|50.64.119.38]] ([[User talk:50.64.119.38|talk]]) 12:57, 21 September 2017 (UTC) |

About the lead: should not death be called an "'''irreversible''' cessation", or termination, of biological functions? As opposed to [[clinical death]], which in exceptional circumstances may be reversed, the essential characteristic of ''death'' is that it cannot be undone. Although death can be misdiagnosed, and new methods of bringing people back from the brink of death have and continue to force medical and biological terms to be updated, this one element holds regardless of how death is medically defined. Anything short of termination of life, not to be reversed, is not really death. Mythology aside, no one who has ever actually died has ever been returned to a state of life.

Please add anything you feel is missing I really feel like there needs to be a section on coping with death or different ways to find help when dealing with death. (Clbratt (talk) 22:41, 23 March 2009 (UTC)). I will make it, I have all of the information, I just don't want it to get deleted right after I make it (Clbratt (talk) 23:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)).
Here is some information regarding phases of grief, part of the coping stage. 1. Shock: disbelief, unreal 2. Denial: denying that your spouse is actually gone, that it is not true. 3. Bargaining with a higher power to make it all go away. 4. Guilt: difficult stage to get through, you start to blame yourself for the death. You feel as if you did something differently they would still be here. but everyone is responsible for their own actions, there is no way you made anyone do anything. This stage would be helpful to have a friend to talk too, to help you understand it is not your fault. 5. Anger: not always a phase, some find it easier to move on if they are angry at the spouse for leaving, but often it leads to feeling guilty for being angry at them, if the phase doesn't start to occur, don't worry yourself, you can skip this phase. 6. Depression: varies, it comes and goes, give it as much time as possible to heal. While dealing with depression stages try to stay clear of the child and not let them know you’re breaking down. Remember be strong for the child. 7. Resignation: finally believe the reality of the death 8. Acceptance and Hope (“moving on”): you finally understand it can never be the same, but you have to move on in life with a meaning and a purpose. (Bmhans3 (talk) 22:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)) The summary does not relate to the topic at hand -- "Humans increased the number of extinctions in recent times, one cause being, for example, the destruction of ecosystems as a consequence of the spread of industrial technology.[1]" Not only is human causes of extinction events completely unrelated, but it doesn't sound completely neutral. This should be removed. --Andreas |

Peer editing
Hello Xiao Zhang! My name is Vickie Park. I read your editing article ‘Death’ and I think it was really great article to me. Especially definition of the death is really help to understand to start editing article. Also you divided by six parts and it’s all relate with death and it has interesting information each of parts. My favorite part is ‘leading causes of human death worldwide.’ This is very interesting topic and I did not know that every minute more than 110 death facts are registered in the whole world, while about 56 million of people die annually for various reasons. It is interesting part to me, because I didn’t know that so many people died in every minute. Also I remembered that you picked autopsy topic at the very beginning of the semester for your topic. I also picked autopsy topic first, but it was really popular topic in our class, so I choose another topic. However, you graft death and autopsy part in your article! It was really great job. Also your reference is very great. It’s very clear and great references I think. My suggestion is add more information about autopsy part. It has only few information. If you add more information about autopsy, it will be great!
