#### die

The turtle or link dies.

    if xcor > 20 [ die ]
    ;; all turtles with xcor greater than 20 die
    ask links with [color = blue] [ die ]
    ;; all the blue links will die

A dead agent ceases to exist. The effects of this include:

- The agent will not execute any further code. So if you write `ask turtles [ die print "last words?" ]`, no last words will be printed, because the turtles are already dead before they have a chance to print anything.
- The agent will disappear from any agentsets it was in, reducing the size of those agentsets by one.
- Any variable that was storing the agent will now instead have `nobody` in it. So for example `let x one-of turtles ask x [ die ] print x` prints `nobody`.
- If the dead agent was a turtle, every link connected to it also dies.
- If the observer was watching or following the agent, the observer's perspective resets, as if `reset-perspective` had been run.
