When is a person actually dead? This is the question Kenyans have raised following incidents of people collapsing on the streets or in public vehicles while going about their daily duties then later being pronounced dead. So if someone stops breathing or their heart stops beating are they dead? Okelo says a person is pronounced dead when the brain stem is dead. He says a person could be dead clinically but their heart is still beating.
