Aztec life and death
People who died from lightning, drowning, certain diseases, or particularly violent deaths went to Tlalocan, a paradise presided over by the god Tlaloc located within the Aztec's thirteen heavens. In contrast, those who died of most illnesses, old age, or an unremarkable death went to Mictlan, the Aztec underworld.
