A person declared brain-dead does not recover or wake up-they eventually die, according to medical experts.
Dr George Biketi, a general practitioner, explained that brain death is the complete and irreversible cessation of all brain activity. "Brain death is irreversible.
Whenever there is a problem with blood supply or cut damage, a patient reports swelling of the brain, resulting into death," explained Biketi.
Brain death according to Biketi can be caused by several factors, namely traumatic injury like gun shots and accidents that breaks the skull and brain tissue.
