Your organs do not die at the same time as your brain. You can be dead and alive at the same time, That is why we have organ donations. Blood is still pumping through your veins, just like when a chicken's head is cut of the muscles of the body are still reacting and the chicken literally runs around the yard with it's head off. As the same rate your heart is a muscle. It's life, sorry to be so graphic. Oh P.S for all the wanna be docs. out there there are some schools that allow for some fresh disections. And it is totally possible for this to happen.
