Not at all. It's just a question I contemplated for a long time..

i think you'd get suspicious after a few days of not waking up

I know...but i don't think im going to tell you.

I'm pretty sure that regardless of when you die, you probably don't know you are dead. I'm sure that there are situations in which you are aware that you are dying but, how can you know that you are dead once you lose consciousness?

I'm assuming that death and uncosciousness happen at the exact same moment; I don't see how it could be otherwise unless we start talking about afterlife and such.

I DISAGREE. You can be unconscious without being dead

But you can't be dead without, in the end, being unconcious.

It would be difficult to process such information without a functional brain.

unconsciousness is temporary while death is perminant.

If a person is sleeping & someone places a cyanide capsule in the sleeping persons mouth & cracks it on their tooth so they breath it in, they may suddenly wake for a second before death. In that one or so seconds I do not think the person will have enough time to register what is actually going on; that they have been poisoned. The person will only know that the body is having a seizure/convulsions. i am not exactly sure how cyanide works, but I know that it attacks cells & prevents them from using oxigen; so it would be a respitatory failure that leads to death, & who knows how long that takes.

I watched the Germin war film 'Downfall' which is about the last days of Hitler & in it 6 kids are given a lethal dose of cyanide & it took just a few seconds for death to occur. They twitched a bit (maybe a small convulsions) & then lay still, though they did not open their eyes (they were given sleeping pills prior). Freaken great movie btw.

After death there is nothing. Not a thing = doornail.
