simultaneous death

Read a random definition: legal subdivision

A quick definition of simultaneous death:

Simultaneous death means when two or more people die at the same time and it's impossible to tell who died first. It can happen in accidents or disasters. When someone dies, it means their body stops working and they can't breathe, move, or respond anymore. There are different types of death, like natural death from old age or sickness, accidental death from unexpected events, or violent death from human actions. Sometimes, when someone is missing for a long time, people might assume they are dead and have a legal process called presumptive death. In some cases, when someone dies because of someone else's actions, their family can take legal action called a wrongful-death action.

A more thorough explanation:

Simultaneous death refers to the death of two or more people in the same accident or event, where it is impossible to determine who died first.

For example, if a married couple dies in a car accident and it is unclear who died first, the law may treat it as if they died at the same time. This can have implications for inheritance and other legal matters.

The Uniform Simultaneous Death Act is a law that provides rules for determining how property is distributed in cases of simultaneous death.
