actually a person dies when his heart when brain stop working bcoz in some case it is that heart dies but brain still works ..so u can consider a death at a failure of both
if heart is dead then we cant do any work but can still think but if brain stop working the whole body stop working

Answer 2

When the heart stops, a person is considered dead. The brain dies once oxygen has stopped reaching it due to the cease of blood circulation, which is encouraged by the beating of the heart. The brain takes a few mintues to fully die, so if the heart was encouraged some how to beat again, a person can be revived. Of course, the longer the brain stays without oxygen, the more damage it inhibits.

A person cannot be buried if he/she is brain dead, but have a heart beat and other vital body parts are functioning. So brain death means the person is not functional any more, but to be dead-to-be -put-in-a -coffin -dead, your heart must stop beating..

Answer 3

Both criteria have been used-in the event that one's heart stops beating and can't be restarted, brain death is inevitable and needn't be proven. In the event that a person is relatively well physically-that is, the heart continues working with little or no assistance-absence of higher functions of the brain has been used as a proof that that person technically no longer is alive.
