Death is "Cellular death" it happens for one reason only and that reason is lack of oxygen to the cells. that is the only cause of death.
She must have been receiving oxygen and that oxygen got to the cells of the brain and organs.

An Alternative Definition
Normal cellular function involves the production of free energy required for vital cellular metabolism, the production of enzymatic and structural protein, the maintenance of chemical and osmotic homeostasis of cell, and cell reproduction. During normal functions, cells require oxygen, phosphate, calcium (C, H, N, O, P, S), nutritional substrates, ATP, which is required as a source of free energy, intact cell membranes, and a steady-state activity that requires O2 consumption.

I think I'm dead.
My foot! I can't feel my foot!
Oh my god oh my god oh my god!
I can recall spending good money to get to feel like that. Thats why I never made a good drug addict, I used to get really paranoid about impending death at every new stage of "stoned"
A guy here in NC was declared dead a couple of years ago, only to be found to be alive hours later in the morgue.
