In Natural Death, Are People Brain Dead Or Unconscious Before
Question: In natural death, are people brain dead or unconscious before they die?
Brief Answer:
No, not all people are unconscious before death.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, not all the people who have natural death are unconscious.
It depends on the cause of the death.
If the cause of death is a heart attack, they can be conscious the last minutes.
If the cause is, for example, senility which is death because of old age, they can be unconscious.
Death is very individual for every person.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards!
