Death is something that is inevitable and yet the biggest reality of life. It refers to the end of a person’s life, whether it is done forcefully or naturally. No one can hide away from death.
If a person dies naturally, then it is easier for the relatives and friends of the person to get over their death, but when the death occurs due to forceful circumstances, it’s really hard to overcome the pain.
Many people have been brutally battered to death. As per the legal perspective, violent death is called murder. Certain murder mysteries were solved, and the murderers were caught, but there happen to be certain murder mysteries that remain unsolved, and the victims were deprived of justice.
