00PS Sorry if I've got your query wrong 050010id1

0 If you mean 'one that ends in death', then the word is 'fatal'. 0-

0 There's also "lethal". 0-

0 Lethal means something that induces or causes death, whereas fatal means something that ends in death. 0-

0 Hi, 02br
01b00One who02b00 ends in death to me refers to a person, so it cannot be fatal. I can suggest victim and casualty (usu. casualties). 02br
00Others may have a different opinion though. 0-

0 Oh I see. I thought "one that ends in death" meant someone who died. Then it can be mortal also, or deadly, depending on the context. 0-

0Oops ! Was it "who"? Then I'd probably got it right from the very beginning05000 - it's the dead person. And I remember there was a story by James Joy?e called "The Dead".010id1

0 Mortal has the same meaning as lethal. Next, 'victim' and 'casualty' do not necessarily mean 'somebody who is dead'. Even if they are merely injured, they can be victim or casualty. 0-

0 Hi, Sunilbhasin, 02br
00I agree that victims and casualties are not 01i00necesserily02i00 dead, but can you suggest something better? 0-

0 Hi, 02br
00Well, if we are going to split a few hairs, 'one who ends in death' is not the same as 'one who ended in death'. 02br
00We are all 'one who ends in death'. In 'The Unforgiven', the kid gunfighter says to Clint Eastwood 'He had it coming', and Clint answers 'We all have it coming'. 02br
