Note that a common term for dying (in English) is "reaching room temperature".

Never heard that one. Is that an American idiom? "Passing away" seems to be the standard euphemism where I'm from, but I usually just say "dying".

For reference, I've never encountered that either, and I'm an American and a student of British English.
