Not all dead people's eyes roll into their heads. This is more common with heart attack, seizure, and stroke victims. Those who are shot, those who commit suicide, and those who die in any other grotesque matter; their eyes remain center. The pupils dilate until it seems to look like black glass. That's where the term "glossing over" comes from.
