This isn't what a physician described to me. They waited there and did all these tests for death. Not just waiting for the heart to have stopped but for there to be no response to pressing hard on the fingernail and such. It sounded very much like they do absolutely wait until the person is deceased in all meaningful forms.

He once said that this team of expert transplant specialists who flew in are just waiting and waiting because this one person's heart would just keep starting back up on its own, so he had to be exceptionally careful to pronounce him actually dead.
