This sounds very obvious, I know. I assume it doesn’t immediately stop the heart, and people can still survive even while being “brain dead”. So what exactly happens in the body to cause immediate death once a bullet enters the brain?

Why not? The signal for your heart to beat comes from your brain. So does the signal for your lungs to breathe, and all the other body functions. You *can* survive a gunshot to the head depending on the bullet size and the path it takes. But if any of the many life-critical parts get hit (or liquified by shockwave), you’re done immediately.
