I liked the title 'Cause of Death' because it sounded objective, like a
legal document based on a medical diagnosis.
What else do I think about the phrase 'Cause of Death'?
I think it tells very little about a person's life.
It summarizes the last moments of being and could be identical for every case.
"Heart stopped beating" works for everybody.
Go long enough with your heart not beating and you're not coming back.
'Cause of Death' sounds clean.
It changes the animal experience into a category to mark on a form.
Dying is one thing. Death is another.
Dying is active. Death comes, seemingly, as an imposition from without.
So 'cause of death' is the reason that a flexible animal, full of grace,
changes to a rigid inert object, not responsible for its own appearance
or any further alterations to its state.
