Somaticdeath is the death of the organism as a whole; it usually precedes the death of the individual organs, cells, and parts of cells.
Somaticdeath is marked by cessation of heartbeat, respiration, movement, reflexes, and brain activity.
The precise time of somaticdeath is sometimes difficult to determine, however, because the symptoms of such transient states as coma, faint (see Fainting), and trance closely resemble the signs of death.
