After beginning to regenerate on a [[Mondasian colony ship]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] declared that he didn't want to go on, telling his would-be successor to "let go" and interrupting the regenerative process by triggering a huge [[explosion]], killing himself in the process. [[Bill Potts]] found his body, and, with [[Heather (The Pilot)|Heather]]'s help, brought him back to [[the TARDIS]], believing it to be "the only place he'd rest in peace, if there's any place he'd do that". However, before saying her final goodbyes, Bill (now made of [[sentient oil]] like Heather), left him one of her [[tear]]s, stating that "where there's tears, there's hope". After Bill and Heather left, the tear reignited a small burst of regeneration energy; awakening, the Twelfth Doctor had visions of past companions saying his name, and on hearing {{Gomez}}'s voice, he awoke and began regenerating in earnest again. He halted it again through sheer willpower, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') entering a [[state of grace]] during which he was restored to full health but had a short window of time in which to decide whether to let himself die as he was, or let himself regenerate completely into a [[Thirteenth Doctor|new Doctor]]. After an encounter with the [[First Doctor]] and the [[Testimony]] "ghosts" of his last few [[companion]]s, as well as input from the TARDIS herself, he finally allowed himself to regenerate.

According to one account, at some point between his flight from Gallifrey and his first confrontation with [[Omega]], the Doctor was fated to die in the void of space near a [[Ubankan ship]], trying and failing to reach his TARDIS before he asphyxiated. Because he wished for the Doctor to be available at a later point to the [[White Guardian]] as a pawn in the quest for the [[Key to Time]], [[God (mythology)|God]] allowed him to miraculously survive, sending him a bubble of air.
