You seem to refuse to use the word "dead". Someone asked what the dead body was if the person didn't die. You said there was no dead body. You still refuse to use the word "dead". Please define your test of whether a person is dead or alive. Current medical tests would fail to find your person alive. Current medical tests would declare your person dead. Until you can give a new definition for a new use of these terms, it is difficult to follow your explanations.
