Death isn't that technical. Same as you taking off a shirt. You can be halfway out of it and argue that you're still wearing it.
Even in physical death, the body is not lifeless. Decay is a process that involves population explosions of bacteria and such. The animating spirit of the body has vacated, but physical life continues on other levels now.
That animating spirit is not of this world. It is a resident of higher levels. When the connection to the body has been let go of, the soul lets it fall away. It can't go where the soul is anyway because it's gross matter. The soul is highly rarified energy.
You, as a human with physical eyes, can't see the soul at the time of departure. Some people are tuned a little higher than others and can see such things in an internalized way.
Physical death means the end of this human identity. Your soul just turns the page and keeps going.
