History[edit]

In Homer's dream where he was an intermediate skier, Death appeared, who Homer originally thought was Ski Patrol, who was dragging behind him a coffin. When they fell off the edge of the cliff and everyone started screaming, Death realized he couldn't die and opened up a parachute.

Later, Mona Simpson revealed herself to be Death and saved the lives of the Simpson family.[1]
