Death of Moses

Deuteronomy 34: Moses dies (should I use the word kill?) himself upon the word of the God, and God buries Moses.
If the person is recognized as ‘prophet’ i.e. God’s man, the tendency is to blur his pre-birth and post-death connections.
The tendency in Indian context can also be figured out as the concept of being 'swayambhu'.
