Notification of a completed thread in the target VM. The notification is generated by the dying thread before it terminates. Because of this timing, it is possible for VirtualMachine.allThreads to return this thread after this event is received. 

Note that this event gives no information
about the lifetime of the thread object. It may or may not be collected
soon depending on what references exist in the target VM.
