Final Death

Final Death is the term for a Kindred truly dying. Final Death occurs when a Kindred's body is fully destroyed by aggravated damage or their soul* is somehow detached from their body. If a Kindred's soul is detached from their body, it will decay at the expected pace for the age of the Kindred. Neonates bodies decay to a point relative to how long they have been "dead," that is, existed as Kindred. Young ancilla's bodies are typically reduced to bone, while older ancilla and elders turn to dust.
