public class ThreadDeath
extends Error

ThreadDeath is thrown in a thread when someone calls stop() on that thread. Important: Make sure you rethrow this exception if you catch it. If you don't, the thread will not die.

This is an Error rather than an exception, so that normal code will not catch it. It is intended for asynchronous cleanup when using the deprecated Thread.stop() method.
