What is appropriate to use in cases of death in natural disasters: killed, or died?
Lets say, I wanted to say, "Earth destroyed this morning, everyone [died|got killed] in a parallel universe."
I am not sure what is more appropriate to use.
Died seems to me as if someone died from injury, or disease or something that does not intend to kill it. While killed seems more like an external factor that caused the death of someone purposefully.
