30: * when the (deprecated) {@link Thread#stop()} method is invoked.
31: *
32: * <p>An application should catch instances of this class only if it
33: * must clean up after being terminated asynchronously. If
34: * {@code ThreadDeath} is caught by a method, it is important that it
35: * be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.
36: *
37: * <p>The {@linkplain ThreadGroup#uncaughtException top-level error
38: * handler} does not print out a message if {@code ThreadDeath} is
39: * never caught.
40: *
41: * <p>The class {@code ThreadDeath} is specifically a subclass of
42: * {@code Error} rather than {@code Exception}, even though it is a
43: * "normal occurrence", because many applications catch all
44: * occurrences of {@code Exception} and then discard the exception.
