I had a heart attack. I first fainted and fell on the floor with enough force to break my nose and a finger. I had no memory of from just before I fainted till the time I woke up without realizing I was injured until I saw blood on the floor. It would have been a very peaceful yet sudden ending.

This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder about articles like this. You had a heart attack, and the moment that blood stopped pumping to your head (and possibly heart muscle), you were turned off like a switch. Obviously, there is a multitude of physiological deaths, but all of them involve a cessation of blood flow to the heart muscle and brain. I understand the concept of oxygenated blood still being in the brain post-”death”. But I think that this is used up almost instantly, The brain requires a continuous amount of oxygen and glucose to retain any function. Being a funeral director for over 10 years however, I can’t say I haven’t seen some strange stuff.
