 Indicates that the underlaying connection was terminated before
 `response.end()` was called or able to flush.
 
-The `err` parameter is always present and indicates the reason for the timeout:
-
-`err.code === 'timeout'` indicates that the underlaying connection timed out.
-This may happen because all incoming connections have a default timeout of 2
-minutes.
-
-`err.code === 'aborted'` means that the client has closed the underlaying
-connection prematurely.
-
 Just like `'end'`, this event occurs only once per request, and no more `'data'`
 events will fire afterwards.
