You seem to confuse failure and termination. Failure happens when an actor throws an exception, e.g. during handling a message. Then it gets suspended and its parent needs to decide what to do, e.g. restart. Termination happens when an actor gets stopped, e.g. by itself, or – in the case of removing – when the remote failure detector decides that the other side is no longer reachable, which of course happens when the other JVM crashes. Termination has nothing to do with supervision, though the parent could watch the lifecycle of its children by calling `context.watch`. Hoping that helps.
