Implicating killing → death
Link to implication

Reason:

People die when they are killed.

EDIT: The tag implication killing -> death (forum #234702) has been rejected by @NotMeNotYou.

But it is really possible to kill someone so hard they die to death?

I think the reason came before the suggestion. :v

Reason: dead bodies are dead

skull and skeleton don't count for the death tag, so neither does this I reckon.

I think that's because skulland skeleton can be applied to undead characters who aren't considered dead, but corpse generally isn't. also radiograph, slime_creatures, and other situations where you can see the skeleton of a fully living character.

For the sake of tagging, does the act of killing need to happen concurrently/immediately during the moment of death?
E.g., Someone lynching another character or slicing their throat could be seen as an act of killing, but not necessarily depict the death immediately. They could be still be struggling, in the process of dying, or is fatally wounded.

It was deliberately unimplied from death, see topic #28225.

The wiki for death mentions that the tag is for "art that includes a character being killed."
It needs to depict the exact moment of death, not deaths that happened a long time ago.

Similar issues with tags like infanticide. A mother (even, accidentally) killing her child is still infanticide (for literal feral cubs, in context).

Whoops, thanks, I hadn't seen that

So dying is for before death and corpse is for after death. My question: is it possible to visually show the exact moment of death in a way that's distinct from dying and corpse? Outside of a video or comic?

Corpse can be applied to a body of a recent death or one that has happened long ago.

I think for death to apply, it should show a recent death or "fresh kill" (e.g., lifeless body with fresh blood, someone "flatlining") and should not be of a death that has happened a long time ago (e.g., rotting remains, skeletonised remains).

It is distinct from dying, which should still show signs of life (e.g., constricted pupils, still "bleeding out", etc.).

So would both death and corpse apply to this example?

Yes, they are not mutually exclusive. You can have death and corpse exist at the same time, but not with dying.

I see, thanks!
