When organisms die they decompose or in other words, to begin to be apart of the earth. When decomposition sets in the organisms begins to rot and their bodies are either eaten by other animals first. Or second they are preserved into the soil to where their skin is eaten by insects. When an organism dies it turns the soil near it into fertile soil.

some bacteria can die. Boiling water will kill some types of bacteria. A common misunderstanding is freezing the item. This will only stop the growth and when the bacteria "wake up" they will continue to grow. Another way to kill bacteria is to wash the item frequently.
