Sartre on Death

How would death be explained (metaphysically/ontologically) in terms of Sartre's thoughts as expressed in his main work "Being and Nothingness"?

Are you struggling with a certain passage?

No. I'm just trying to determine if death is some kind of point reached by Being-in-itself where it "re-integrates" with itself because its effort to overcome its contingent nature through the nihilating activity of a Being-for-itself has failed.
