This depends on what the patient's pathology is, and how dependent on the life support equipment they are for sustaining life. There have been rare cases where, once removed from the life support equipment, the patient started breathing and eventually recovered to a point where they didn't need the life support equipment to survive. More often, mortality occurs minutes, hours or days after disconnect. Again, it depends on the patient.

If you found naked pictues of somebody would you tell them?

If there is nude pictures of someone, chances are they probably know that they exist, meaning that you don't really have to tell them about it.If, however, this happens to be pictures that was taken without the person knowing it, such as e.g. pictures taken of someone who was unconcious when it happened, and you have reason to believe the person in question do not know about it, then yes, I would tell them.The person has a right to know, and if the pictures was taken without permission or without the person knowing at all, it could be (and probably is) a crime.
