"... Sometimes, the dead are described as being asleep without any consciousness, even being in peace. In the Epistle of Enoch, 1 Enoch 102:5–11, for example, the righteous who have perished appear to become like “those who were not.” In Wisdom of Solomon 2:1 a person comes to his/her end at death.
