• like death warmed up

• be in at the death

• at death's door

• a matter of life and death

• put the fear of death into

• flog a dead horse

• the kiss of death

• dice with death

• hang on like grim death

• a death-trap

• sick to death of it

• catch one's death of cold

• put the fear of death into him

• a fate worse than death

• bold on like grim death
