And now yours. 
The description of Superman lying in the snow is stark. The killer was devastating in his destruction of Superman. Clearly no coming back from the dead this time.
How did he do it? No indication of kryptonite. In the "real world" the government and others would eventually come up with weapons that could kill Superman w/o needing kryptonite. Maybe that happened here.

Pete's reaction and the mention of the gray hair and small wrinkles was perfect.
The big question is who is the figure in black? I'm thinking it wasn't luthor. The title makes me think it was an unexpected killer. Maybe government related? If so why now? presumably after 30 years Superman was in the twilight of his career with all the great deeds having been done already. The body - will the government take and dissect it to find out how Superman worked or will someone protect him from that final indignanty?

Yup, death-fics are rare here. Fortunately fanfiction.net and the Smallville fic sites have a fair number and well done fics at that.
If you don't want to post your death-fics here please do so at fanfiction.net. They are a popular genre on the Superman board there. And your writing style is great - your attention to detail in this story. Pete's noticing the streaks of gray and small wrinkles around Superman's mouth was a poignant and interesting point. Kryptonians do age in somewhat normal time it would seem.
Children - your comment. Hmmm. The raindrop was really a tear? Now you wouldn't go there would you. :p It would explain Superman's non-kryptonite caused death. It would be too evil though.
