Usually the heart stops beating and at the same time stops breathing, which is considered death.

There are several criteria for death in legal theory, and different countries have different standards for adoption. Our laws do not adopt these criteria because they are flawed: if brain death is adopted, then a vegetative person is dead.
If the heart dies and the heart stops, then the heart dies and the artificial heart is replaced by the dead person, and the heartbeat arrest is suspended and the fake death is the dead person. "The pupil jumping reaction is even more unreasonable, is a blind person a dead person?
These standards are not adopted by our laws. The standard adopted by our law is that if a person dies in a hospital, he or she shall be certified by the hospital, if he dies at home, he shall be certified by his relatives, and if he dies elsewhere, he shall be deemed dead if he has been proved to have no signs of life in many ways. China's jurisprudence adopts the doctrine of "no signs of life".
