Let me help you, my Pakistani friend:
"Death," in English, is understood as the "permanent cessation of all bodily functions." A dead person, therefore, doesn't have a beating heart, flowing blood, temperature regulation, etc.
"Brain death" is a legal category. It is not a genuine medical state. The body lives but we are told the brain is dead. In this state, people breathe, eat, and can even gestate a fetus to full term. Welcome to modern Science* where a dead woman can become a mother.
"Brain death" is assumed to be irreversible but it is a self-confirming process: once a person is declared to be brain dead, all life support is removed or their organs are harvested *while the body is still alive.* It is an epistemological impossibility to know if the condition is permanent. The claim that any patient has entered "irreversible brain death" is unfalsifiable. In layman's terms, it's bullshit.
