meet one's end
Reach life's conclusion
To meet one's end is to die, often with implications of a specific manner or circumstance: He met his end in a mining accident, The villain met his end at the hero's hands.
The phrase suggests finality and sometimes fate—as if death were an appointment kept rather than an event suffered.
