-### DEP0007: cluster worker.suicide
+### DEP0007: Replace cluster worker.suicide with worker.exitedAfterDisconnect
-Type: Runtime
+Type: End-of-Life
-Within the `cluster` module, the [`worker.suicide`][] property has been
-deprecated. Please use [`worker.exitedAfterDisconnect`][] instead.
+In an earlier version of the Node.js `cluster`, a boolean property with the name
+`suicide` was added to the `Worker` object. The intent of this property was to
+provide an indication of how and why the `Worker` instance exited. In Node.js
+6.0.0, the old property was deprecated and replaced with a new
+[worker.exitedAfterDisconnect][] property. The old property name did not
+precisely describe the actual semantics and was unnecessarily emotion-laden.
