Hey, it is dead enough to activate a new slayer.
Judge: "But sir, now that you died, is your preference burial or cremation?
There’s a variety of body farms to choose from. And who’s going to be sure if a “body” walked away or was 100% scavenged?
Or a zombie “body” could live off of the other bodies there. It’d give researchers a whole new insight into the consumption practices of the life-challenged. I hear Zombie Biology is a real gut course.
He was just resting.
That is exactly what the court said. The judges also said that the appellant’s claim to have been dead was “unpersuasive” as he had signed his own legal documents in the case.
In New York, all prisoner deaths require an autopsy. That probably discourages people from seeking this route out of prison.
“Cause of death appears to have been a large Y-shaped incision on the chest and abdomen.”

Nah, his mom made him wear a sweater.
Can you imagine the legal carnage that would ensue if heart cessation caused legal death, and ended things like mortgages, contracts, marriages, bank account access, user ID’s, property ownership…
The coroner who performed the autopsy on Elvis had this to say to people who claimed that Elvis was never really dead: “If he wasn’t dead beforehand, he sure was afterwards.”
As for the prisoner in this case, poor guy never stood a chance, but you can’t blame him for clutching at legal straws.
Has a prisoner ever asked to be released from his life sentence after experiencing la petite mort?
He was probably pining for the fjords.
