A quick definition of legal death:

Legal death refers to the end of a person's life, where all vital functions and signs have ceased. This can occur due to brain death or natural causes. Civil death, on the other hand, refers to the loss of certain rights by a person who has been outlawed or convicted of a serious crime. Other types of death include accidental death, violent death, and death by one's own hand. In some cases, death may be inferred from a person's long, unexplained absence. Legal death can have various legal implications, such as in wrongful death actions or cases where the death penalty may be imposed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Legal death refers to the ending of life and cessation of all vital functions and signs. It can also refer to brain death or civil death.

Examples:

  • Brain death: This is the bodily condition where there is no response to external stimuli, no spontaneous movements, no breathing, no reflexes, and a flat reading on a machine that measures the brain's electrical activity.
  • Civil death: This is the loss of rights, such as the right to vote, make contracts, inherit, and sue, by a person who has been outlawed or convicted of a serious crime. It can also refer to the state of a corporation that has formally dissolved or become bankrupt.

These examples illustrate how legal death can refer to different situations where the person or entity is considered legally dead. Brain death is used to determine when a person is no longer alive, while civil death refers to the loss of legal rights.
