ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French regreter ‘bewail (the dead),’ perhaps from the Germanic base of greet 2 .
My uncle died, my mother asked his daughter at the funeral why did he die? I overheard my mom so I asked my uncle in his coffin why did he die. I could see and hear him clearly and he cheerfully responded ,“ All I choose is happiness for me now!” I told my mom and she angrily hauled me out of the funeral and left for home. She was upset because she didn’t want another psyche in the family and considered such ability as subhuman. And I grew up with this? Mom regrets that, now that she is dead.

People die for obvious reasons...to make way for the next generation....because they are literally "tired" or ill.....who wants to live forever?,,,,I believe in reincarnation of the soul....not heaven or hell...that is my opinion only and I don't mean to offend anyone who does believe in the biblical definition of the hereafter.....ashes to ashes and dust to dust...that's it as far as I am concerned.
