mortifer/letifer
From 'mors' (stem morti-), 'death', or 'letum', 'death, destruction', and 'ferre', 'to bring'. These forms refer to a male; 'mortifera' and 'letifera' refer to death-bringing females.
These are properly adjectives, but may be used substantively as nouns.

\'Mors\' is a neutral word for \'death\'. \'Letum\' often (e.g., in Plautus, Caesar, and Vergil), but not exclusively, implies death by suicide. Cicero uses it of any shameful death.
