Unfortunately they do die. Count me sentimentalist, but I didn't find the topic funny, as it reminded me of the late Nick Ing-Simmons.

Well, perhaps it's not funny, and count me as a sentimentalist too, but also as a person with a severe kind of cancer I feel like reminding you that sometimes it's good to laugh even at the most serious and sad things. I often make jokes about my own disease and, believe me, it helps. (A magic want to just switch it off would help more of course!)
