lose one's life
Meet one's end
To lose one's life is to die, typically in circumstances involving violence, accident, or sacrifice rather than natural causes: Twelve firefighters lost their lives battling the blaze.
The phrase carries a sense of life being taken or given up rather than simply ending.
