final exit
End of life
Final exit is a euphemism for death, particularly suicide or assisted dying.
The phrase frames death as a deliberate departure rather than something that happens to you.
It gained currency as the title of a controversial 1991 book providing guidance on ending one's life: She made her final exit on her own terms.
