     As far as I know, it has to do with the type of weapons used.  The
STASERS used on Gallifrey affect the nervous system of the Time Lords which
prevents regeneration.  I don't know what else might cause the death of a Time
Lord besides such a weapon.  I don't happen to remember where I heard this.
