In: 510
If you do a little research on the expression ‘actively dying’, you’ll see there are a bunch of signs and one or more of them happen to virtually everyone. They include – loss of appetite, changes in sleeping habits, changes in blood pressure and breathing and heartbeat, drop in body temperature, confusion, pain, hallucinations. Interestingly, it’s quite common for people to rally and have a day of coherence a few days before they pass. Medical professionals have seen all this happen so many times that they can use experience to give family members an educated guess on the time to death.
