Your heart supplies the blood to your brain, however even if your brain is "braindead", your heart can still stay beating. The brain relies on the heart but not as much vice versa. When a person dies from a gunshot wound to the head, the body dies and of course, the heart stops.

Either way, no-one can live without one, the other or a substitution. They are both essential to survival.
