3. Obsolete To obliterate; destroy.

Best to all,

So using that definition would not death meet the criteria of defacing life?

Best to you Tina,

No "death" per se does not meet criteria of "defacing" life because death is an inherent part of life and necessary for the continuation of the life cycle.
