To die, to kick the bucket. This is Mexico's casual, slightly humorous way of saying someone passed away. Literally translating to "kick the can," it's used more in lighthearted or irreverent contexts rather than solemn ones, similar to how English speakers say "kick the bucket" instead of "pass away."
