death story
Tale of demise
A death story is an account of how someone died—the circumstances, final moments, and events leading to death.
Everyone who dies leaves behind a death story, whether dramatic or mundane: Her death story involved a long battle with cancer.
The term emphasizes that dying, like living, forms a narrative that others remember and retell.
