A collection of events. Each instance of Dying is an event in which a living organism (an instance of Organism_Whole) ceases to live and thus ceases to exist. The physical portion of the organism may remain, but that is not considered an instance of Organism_Whole (cf. DeadAnimal). Note that the expiring animal is related to its dying event by bodilyDoer (q.v.)--in contrast to the role an organism plays when it is the organismKilled in a KillingByOrganism event (which will have some Dying event among its subEvents), and cf. bodilyActedOn.
