When someone dies “peacefully” in their sleep does their brain just shut off? Or if its their heart, would the brain not trigger a response to make them erratic and suffer like a heart attack?

Arsenic works. Stroke is another way to die peacefully in your sleep. Simply slowing down to nothing is what my grandmother appears to have done. Dementia is very effective, the mind forgets, eventually, how to be alive.
