so Og, once your heart stop beating, your brain cells die, it's over finito ... but how long before a person is actually "dead"?

I know they have done studies that have said that once your heart stopped beating you actually "go on" living for a while ..... what are the learned opinions on that? I can't remember where I read it or just what but you would be the most likely to know the answer around here .....
