	death. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Death may involve the organism as a whole (somatic death) or may be confined to cells and tissues within the organism.
		The physiological death of cells that are normally replaced throughout life is called necrobiosis; the death of cells caused by external changes, such as an abnormal lack of blood supply, is called necrosis.
		Somatic death is characterized by the discontinuance of cardiac activity and respiration, and eventually leads to the death of all body cells from lack of oxygen, although for approximately six minutes after somatic death—a period referred to as clinical death—a person whose vital organs have not been damaged may be revived.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : Imperative of 'Signs of Clinical Death' for Organ Transplants
		This message was sent by the Holy Father to the participants in the study session on the "Signs of Death," in the context of transplanting organs from the deceased.
		In this perspective, you have chosen to explore once again, in a serious interdisciplinary study, the particular question of the “signs of death”, on the basis of which a person’s clinical death can be established with moral certainty, in order to proceed with the removal of organs for transplant.
		From the clinical point of view, however, the only correct way — and also the only possible way — to address the problem of ascertaining the death of a human being is by devoting attention and research to the individuation of adequate “signs of death”, known through their physical manifestation in the individual subject.

		A quarter of all deaths in the United States—about a thousand deaths a day—are sudden cardiac deaths, which are unexpected and occur within an hour of the time that symptoms first appear.

	Near-Death Experience - Crystalinks
		Many commentators see near death experiences as an afterlife experience, and some accounts include elements that, according to some theorists, are most simply explained by an out-of-body consciousness.
