"Panati's Extraordinary Endings of Practically Everything and Everybody" muses on death for a while before moving onto other, just as upbeat topics like cemeteries and last wills and testaments. He eventually gets back to deaths with references to varying forms of capital punishments and species extinctions, stretching from the trilobite to the quagga and heath hen.
