-> Stability: 0 - Deprecated: Use [`worker.exitedAfterDisconnect`][] instead.
-
-An alias to [`worker.exitedAfterDisconnect`][].
-
-Set by calling `.kill()` or `.disconnect()`. Until then, it is `undefined`.
-
-The boolean `worker.suicide` is used to distinguish between voluntary
-and accidental exit, the master may choose not to respawn a worker based on
-this value.
-
-```js
-cluster.on('exit', (worker, code, signal) => {
-  if (worker.suicide === true) {
-    console.log('Oh, it was just voluntary – no need to worry');
-  }
-});
-
-// kill worker
-worker.kill();
-```
-
-This API only exists for backwards compatibility and will be removed in the
-future.
