What is death?

What is death? What constitutes the ending of a person's life?

It raises one of the most puzzling philosophical questions.

In what sense does the death harm us? Why and when does it harm us? How might we solve the timing puzzle when it harms us? Is death always an evil? since continued life always makes good things accessible. Or only premature death is a misfortune and it is a good thing that we are not immortal, since we cannot continue to be who we are now and remain meaningfully attached to life forever. (Rephrased paragraph: Original can be read from this link plato.stanford.edu/entries/death/)

 

The only answers have come from various religions so far.
