Yes, it’s nil and void.
The Arahant doesn’t die!
It’s beyond birth and death…..and cannot be traced down.
Has awakened to the supreme Nibbana.
Deathless!

Nobody dies!
"Lord, who feels?"

"Not a valid question," the Blessed One said. "I don't say 'feels.' If I were to say 'feels,' then 'Who feels?' would be a valid question. But I don't say that. When I don't say that, the valid question is 'From what as a requisite condition comes feeling?' And the valid answer is, 'From contact as a requisite condition comes feeling. From feeling as a requisite condition comes craving.'"

https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitak ... .than.html
He discerns, 'With the break-up of the body, after the termination of life, all that is experienced, not being relished, will grow cold right here.'.
And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter: This is called right speech.
