The order of events may not happen in this exact order but often the liver is no longer able to do it's job, the skin and whites of the eyes may turn yellow, the kidneys fail and the body will start smelling of amounia because it can no longer be excreted by the kidneys. The lungs may start filling with fluid. The patient by this time will probably be comatose. The heart will slow down because of increased pressure from fluid in the lungs and the brain will finally realize that the other organs have shut down and will stop sending messages to the heart to continue to beat. This process could take days, hours or minutes.
