    Many who have watched someone die will likely know this

    It’s not like the light leaves their eyes and that’s it

    My cousin’s breathing stopped, but his heart kept stopping and starting again. He was clearly gone, but certain parts didn’t stop working for several minutes

      Yeah nothing about this seems like it shouldn’t be obvious, it takes some time for everything to fail, just like being ‘alive’ and having a single organ fail, you can be in various states of ‘alive’.
