Why living things die, and the circle of life in nature, sentence 0

Every living thing, a sunflower, a bee, a fox or a person, has a body that wears out or gets badly hurt or ill in the end; when the body stops working completely, the heart stops, breathing stops and the brain stops, and it does not start again.

Who acts: living thing, body, heart, breathing, brain · What happens: have, wear out, hurt, stop, work, not start · To what, where: body
