== What specifically defines a 'Death'? == 

 I know that this initially seems a silly question, but I have a specific reason for asking it. 

 Presently, a young Swedish model named Anna Maria Moström is listed upon the page here as having died on October 14th; all 'News' results for her which I have found note her as being brain dead (the cause being a tragic accident). 

 The crux of my thought on this is that as long as an individual still has a heartbeat and is breathing, whether through life-support or on their own, they're still (at the very least) clinically considered as being alive.  There have been numerous well-known cases of people who have remained alive for years in a vegetative, brain-dead state who would not during that time have their name listed as a 'death' upon this page. 

 Thoughts, anyone?
