Thread objects have four basic states: new (ready), runnable, blocked, and dead. 

The transitions from new(ready) to runnable and from runnable to dead are simple and permanent.

This may occur because of a normal return from the run method or from an exception that is not caught. 

A dead Thread cannot be restarted.
