Exhalation. The muscles relax, and exhale any air in the lungs. You can try it - take a breath, and let all your muscles relax - you exhale.
Then exhale, and let all your muscles relax - no inhalation occurs.

I would think exhalation. Since breathing is an automatic response, I believe all the air is released when a person passes. It wouldn't make sense for a person to take a breath and hold it if they're dead.

That's a good question! My guess would be that it would be an exhale because the body functions have died and the air has no place to go except out.

An exhalation. Ancients believed that life was breath and that the last breath to leave your body was the essence of the spirit leaving.

I have been right there when 3 members of my family died. It's an exhalation. What goes in, must come out when the body stops functioning.

when a person dies they empty their body out. even the lungs. so the answer is exhalation. i have worked at a hospital for 6 years and seen it many times.

Exhale. The death rattle is when the person is in the last stage of dying and is still breathing, not when they die.
