# Interface VMDeathEvent

All Superinterfaces:
  `Event`, `Mirror`

public interface VMDeathEvent extends Event
Notification of target VM termination. This event occurs if the target VM terminates before the VM disconnects (`VMDisconnectEvent`). Thus, this event will NOT occur if external forces terminate the connection (e.g. a crash) or if the connection is intentionally terminated with `VirtualMachine.dispose()`

On VM termination, a single unsolicited VMDeathEvent will always be sent with a `suspend policy` of `SUSPEND_NONE`. Additional VMDeathEvents will be sent in the same event set if they are requested with a `VMDeathRequest`.

The VM is still intact and can be queried at the point this event was initiated but immediately thereafter it is not considered intact and cannot be queried. Note: If the enclosing `EventSet` has a `suspend policy` other than `SUSPEND_ALL` the initiating point may be long past.

All VMDeathEvents will be in a single `EventSet`, no other events will be in the event set. A resume must occur to continue execution after any event set which performs suspensions - in this case to allow proper shutdown.
