Disagree. AFAIK, in every state the legal definition of dead is brain death.
She has been pronounced brain dead by 3 separate and (hopefully) competent physicians.
Brain death was originally put in place for the very reason that it is possible, in many cases, to keep a heart beating long after the brain has died. To which most people agree there is no point.

Yes. Note how you left out the last part of your thought as a given: most people agree their is no point in keeping the patient alive via artificial means - ie means normally con tolled by the nervous system.
Brain dead is not dead. There is no rigor mortis or other post-death events.
I am not arguing at all that she is not brain dead, or she could later survive without artificial support (nor the converse either).
