Death/Family

## Family Deaths

As with all characters in BitLife, relationships can die as well. The player can also plan a funeral or travel to one if the character and the deceased relative are in different Nations. Much like the pet deaths, family deaths are predetermined and the player cannot change when or how they die. Most of the time the Time Machine won’t help with these events. They can die from many different causes of death as shown below:

## Disease-related deaths

At any point in the player's life, relationships may die to disease. Because the player cannot take them to a Medical Doctor, their death is inevitable. They can die from diseases the player cannot contract such as leukemia, typhoid fever, malaria and even smallpox, the last one being Very rare and possibly the rarest way a relative can die.

## Player-caused deaths

The player will always have the option to kill their relationships. However there are some other events that will kill relationships. Sometimes, the player will see a relationship choking on a piece of food. If they pick the wrong option or ignore them, they will die. While this is random and unintentional, family members can be suddenly murdered by Ghosts if they own a very haunted house with unfriendly, active spirits. Spouses and pets could be kidnapped and will die if ignored or the wrong option was chosen. Kings and Queens may choose to execute anyone.

Killing young children in the game is possible but limited due to potential controversy, which already successfully destabilized the ability to date minors, that once being a feature indeed. The player, as long as they're fourteen or older and not currently imprisoned, can murder their younger siblings (for example, a three year old baby girl named Elena). They can also murder their young children, but this is only possible on Android. On iOS, the player's child must be at least 18.

## Sudden Deaths

It is much less common, for relationships to die suddenly. These are completely inevitable as there is no warning for them.

Most of the time relationships will die because their time expired, or by diseases they have. These deaths are the most common and can happen anytime over 65.

## Terrorist attacks

If your character lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, or Venezuela; the character's family, lovers, or friends could suddenly die from terrorist or battlefield attacks. Starting with the February 2020 update however, family members can die from terrorist attacks in countries other than the ones shown above, the player is mostly exempt from these however.
