kick the bucket

Etymology
There are many theories as to where this idiom comes from, but the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) suggests the following:
 * A person standing on a pail or bucket with their head in a slip noose would kick the bucket so as to commit suicide. The OED, however, says that this is mainly speculative;
 * An archaic use of was a beam from which a pig is hung by its feet prior to being slaughtered, and to kick the bucket originally signified the pig's death throes. The OED finds this a more plausible theory.

Another theory is given by Roman Catholic Bishop Abbot Horne.
