Death is the permanent termination and cessation of conscious activity within any form of matter, whether through natural means or through killing. Death is commonly considered a sad or unpleasant concept, due to the termination of social bonds with the deceased. The fear of death is extremely common in sapient beings. Because of that fact, religion was created as a coping mechanism.
Because of the paradoxical and incomprehensible nature of death, many religions have their own theories and assumptions of what happens after one dies. A common belief would be that of the afterlife where the living being's soul and/or spirit goes to. In Christianity, for example, there is the belief of paradise for the righteous and faithful and of the inferno for the unbelieving and wicked. Rituals for the deceased vary from one culture to another, with the most common being a funeral which is found throughout cultures and allows the friends and family of the deceased to express and share their grief with one another and to bid farewell and even a safe journey to the preferred afterlife of the deceased.
Any form of matter with consciousness is able to die. This includes immortals, gods, and sea stars/starfishes who all have the ability to regenerate but if their entire cellular or spiritual composition is destroyed, they will die.
