Death


 * See also: Ghosts

Patients can die under two circumstances:
 * Their health deteriorates to zero.
 * Their treatment fails, upon which each illness has its own probability of the patient dying. If they survive, they will leave the hospital unhappy.

A patient whose health is approaching zero will have the icon hovering over them ('Close to Death!'). When it is too late, the icon will appear ('Dying!'), which will be accompanied by the sound of a tolling bell.

Upon death, there is a 50% chance that a ghost will spawn. In addition, a single research point will be generated towards a relevant Research Project.
