The Many Colours of Dying

Design by Jerome D'Costa

Death is a certainty for all life-forms, including mankind.

In the past, people died of diseases, accidents, natural disasters, self-willed actions (suicide), and aggressions or attacks from other human beings or animals. 

In the modern world, with the proliferation of education and knowledge, changing legislation, improved science, attitude change, and demand for personal rights, the death scenario has changed dramatically. Now people die and get buried in a variety of ways.

The Walrus, a general-interest magazine of Toronto, has been publishing a series of write-ups on this modern-day phenomenon. You may read them by clicking on the following:
