Yup, have to define this for my next bill which will be up in about 10 minutes. Writing it now.

Edit: Also, we have to have this because nothing at the moment stops someone claiming they died (as in heart attack) and then are resuscitated to collect life insurance etc.

Surely any court would throw out such a claim?

Ah, but without a definition of death my good man, it can be argued they technically 'died'. This is a technical bill which just defines death.
