When your heart stops beating, there is no blood getting to your brain. And so what happens is that within about 10 sec., brain activity ceases.
When doctors shine a light into someone's pupil, it's to demonstrate that there is no reflex present. The eye reflex is mediated by the brain stem, and that's the area that keeps us alive; if that doesn't work, then that means that the brain itself isn't working.

∙ 14y agowhen not enough blood can't get to the brain it can cause you to have a STROKE.
A stroke is a "brain attack" that happens when a part of the brain experiences a problem with blood flow. This disruption in blood flow cuts off the supply of oxygen to the cells in that part of the brain, and these cells begin to die.

Can men produce sperm after death?
No. Once the heart stops, blood supply to the brain stops. Once the brain is deprived of oxygen (after 10 minutes of oxygen deprivation the brain dies) it stops sending electrical impulses to the body and organs, including the testicles. Without oxygen, blood, or electrical stimuli, the testicles stop producing sperm. Sperm can, however, still be retrieved from the testes of a deceased male, but it is not "new" sperm produced after death.
How can a stroke kill you?
Yes a stroke can kill you. A stroke happens when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain.

Where in the brain the stroke happens and how long the brain goes without blood can make a difference as to how bad the stroke is.

I have some kind of an infection seal over my sinuses which will require immediate surgery. The surgeon said if he doesn't do it now that it will infect my brain. I don't understand any of this.?
The sinus cavity is up behind your eyes in front of you brain in a sense. There is such thing as the blood-brain barrier which stops infections that travel through the blood stream from efecting the brain. This barrier stops most viruses but not all. Certan types of viruses can pass through the blood-brain barrier. These are the more serious ones. I would trust the doctor on this one, or it could end very badley.
