title: [A simple physical model describing the death of multicellular organisms].
abstract: A new model which imitates the behaviour of an alive organism is described. The paper provides a new answer to the question: what are life and death? The dependences of lifetime of mammals on the embryo mass and the body mass are found. The connection between the lifetime of an alive organism and the metabolic rate is described.
