Why can a nerve still be alive when a person is dead?

A nerve is simply a line of cells through which electrical impulses travel. These electrical impulses are generated by the movement of Sodium and potassium ions into and out of the cells which generates an action potential (impulse). Nerve cells can be stimulated once a person is dead if an electrical impulse is generated and so appear to be alive.
