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