How can you tell if your tamagotchi is dead?

In Tamagotchi v5, tamagotchis won't 'die' but instead they will go to tamatown which has also the same meaning as dieing. but the thing is that when ur tamagotchi dies, there will be no tamagotchis on ur screen and u will have to press (A) n (C) and then eggs will appear. and then u will have to wait a few miniute for it to hatch and then the whole process will start again...

If it died, there would be an egg with wings floating, but i think that's in other versions. If there's a spaceship then that means it went to tamatown.
