2019—2019
The apparent absence of the dying person can be deceptive.
After the last heartbeat, clinical death, something of consciousness
can remain. The cells inside the body and particularly
inside the brain go through a process of decay that can
take several hours.
In the process of dying, hearing is believed to be the last sense to go. Research based on electroencephalograms (EEGs) of brain waves indicates that (of course depending on what you are dying from) sound is the last stimuli humans can perceive.
