Every creature that had ever breathed oxygen, dies. That's a 100% mortality rate.

Every creature that hadn't breathed oxygen also dies. Can't live with it can't live without it.

Damn you got me, was hoping no one mentioned the immortal jellyfishes. Though if you think about it eventually when the planet dies they'll die as well
