Death=both the event of dying and the state of deadness?
Also ain't it also some dude with a scythe as well?
Aha! I knew it:
Quote:the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism.
"he had been depressed since the death of his father"
Indeed an event, but also indeed a state:
Quote:the state of being dead.
"even in death, she was beautiful"
And yet we don't say, 'She's been death for 20 years' or 'Time of dead, 12:44 PM'.
