Learn English – Term for “Death by Lack of Water”

single-word-requests

I don't know if the title is completely appropriate/applicable, but I guess it'll have to do until there's an edit.

So a if one dies of starvation, one dies from "suffering or death caused by hunger (New Oxford American Dictionary)". Is there a given term for "suffering or death caused by lack of water/thirst"? When one says "He starved to death", the meaning is "He died from hunger", but there's no term (at least to the best of my knowledge) for something like "He (word for died from thirst) to death)".

Best Answer

Dehydration might be the word you're looking for:

He died from dehydration.
