What Wikipedia says

Karyorrhexis (from Greek κάρυον karyon, "kernel, seed, nucleus," and ῥῆξις rhexis, "bursting") is the destructive fragmentation of the cell nucleus that occurs in a dying cell. It is characterized by the breakdown of the nuclear envelope and the dispersal of condensed chromatin into the cytoplasm.
