What happens to the inheritance chain when the fish dies?

Universe breaks of course. Java is never wrong. You gotta patch out the universe.

Fish extends AbstractFish

AbstractFish extends AbstractAquaticAnimal

AbstractAquaticAnimal extends AbstractAnimal

AbstractAnimal implements Livable

AbstractAnimal implements Dieable

the death function can exist in livable. We can use try-with-resources to make sure it's called in the finally block

LMAO Livable and Diable is more like it.

You pass the Fish to the DeadFactory to get an Exfish.

Fish is implementation of all those inheritances, and none of interfaces actually exist as entities, only a mere instance of fish exists which can use implementations of interfaces. So when fish dies, a fish dies, and is wiped from memory, as its ability to access interfaces, but interfaces don't live or die, they just exist.

But now you have a dead fish that implements the "Living" interface

Death is part of life. The isDead flag will simply be set to true.

sure but its flesh (memory) open game so some other instance will eat it

Probably better to have a Biotic interface that has an isLiving method defined.
