What actually happens when an eldery person “dies in their sleep”?
In: 804
From people I have seen die in their sleep it has been a heart arrhythmia. Ventricular fibrillation is when the heart goes into a type of activity where it does not pump blood. The patient passes out and dies. If the patient is asleep they just die. Awake, they may be aware, for a few seconds, they are suddenly growing weak and things are getting dim. But they can die right in the middle of a sentence too.
