In biological contexts, death is the natural termination of vital functions in an organism. In religious contexts, death is defined as the separation of soul from body or the separation of the soul from God which is usually seen as a consequence of sin.

In Biology, death is the permanent cessation of all functional activity in a living organism, manifested in the cessation of respiration, circulation, and in the case of vertebrates such as humans, all electrical activity of the brain. In religion, death is often seen as the separation of body and soul where the soul is transported to an eternal spiritual dimension to enjoy bliss or to suffer punishment according to a person's behavior during his or her bodily life.
