"To me, to go extinct (the one which seems to me, however mistakenly on my part, to be the Britishism) "
Somehow I associate it more with Australian usage, I suppose because of hearing my Aussie ex-husband refer to something or someone as having "gone missing". I also heard people in Australia say someone "went walkabout", specifically a pet that had wandered off.
