The Death Of Superman

'Man of Steel Dies Defending City'
Superman, sole survivor of the doomed planet Krypton and our world's greatest champion for justice, dies Tuesday on the streets of Metropolis, of injuries sustained in the defense of the city and her people. His exact age and place of residence remain unknown, though he is believed to have been in his early thirties and had long been associated in the public mind with this city.
A hero to the end, he died defending Metropolis from the monster known only as Doomsday, finally slaying that creature with his last ounce of strength. Despite valiant efforts at resuscitation, he could not be revived, and was later pronounced dead by Doctor Jorge Sánchez of Metropolis General Hospital.
