You were on your way home when you died

Tu est sur tu via dorm et tu mort.

  • Tu: "Et tu, Brutus?"

  • Est: "id est" / i.e.

  • Dorm: dormitory/domestic

  • Et: "et cetera" / etc.

  • Mort: immortal

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless.

Id est uno vehicle accident. Null particularly remarkable, sed fatal ultimately.

  • Uno: uno cards

  • Sed: Latin for "but"

You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death.

Tu exit retro uno spouse et duo pedo. Id est uno mort sans pain.

  • Retro: retrospect

  • Pedo: p***phile

  • Sans: sans-serif
