History
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]

He was the judge in the court case of Flanders the Devil vs. Homer Simpson about who gets Homer's soul.[2]
Coming to claim Bart's life, he was then attacked by Homer and after a very silly chase scene was destroyed, which made everyone unable to die. Homer then took his cloak, because it looked comfortable and took up the mantle of Death. Homer temporarily killed all the people God wanted to kill just by touching them with his fleshless arm, and then killed many other people just for fun, but gave up the position after God wanted him to kill Marge. He killed Patty, and put Marge's hair on top of her head, while she was covered by a blanket, to trick God.[3]
