Life, Unlife and Existence

Since the times when mummies and their already dead friends started to "contemplate the meaning of existence" why they are "dying" (You die...) when HP reaches zero value? Why not "Your existence is over" (another version is "Your unholy existence is over") or "Your body crumbles into pieces (or dust)".
Sorry for my bad english. May be this a tweak and should be reported using Mantis?

IMHO, "You cease to exist" to those races which are not providing ghosts, otherwise "you die".

How about, "You end."

Nah, it's fine, you're just dead undead
And when your'e raised you're undead undead, then die again you're dead undead undead.

If we're going to tweak the "You die..." messages for specific (undead) races, then I think that player mummies should get to see their death curses kick in on their way out.

On that topic, maybe Xom should have randomized messages and funny stuff, like "Welcome to DIE!"
Edit: Also, as for undead, it could get more complicated than you think. What do you do with necromutated characters, or with fully satiated vampires?

Probably the best solution is to just get rid of death entirely.

So, what then? Something like this?
The Ogre hits you with a giant spiked club!
Ouch! That really hurt!
You leave the dungeon in shame...

Or: "You die... again"
So should it be reported like "tweak" in Mantis (I mean I'm new to "tavern" and dont know do developers visit is often) ?

Mantis is for bug reports only. Feature requests and other suggestions go to the
dev wiki. I cant find an appropriate page for this suggestion,
this is the closest I found. I didn't do an in-depth search, so maybe you can find a better page. If you don't find one you should make a new page for message suggestions.
Short things like this can also be brought up and discussed on IRC. There usually are some devs in ##crawl-dev on freenode. They might also know the appropriate place to add this to the wiki.

What if you then become a Christian? Are you then a born-again dead undead undead? And if you fall away from the faith...
