If someone has pneumona and the life support system is removed it will only be a matter of maybe a few minutes to maybe at the most 30 min shall they continue on breathing. Their lungs would have already been filled up with fluid which is very hard for the heart to keep pumping. So with in that time period the fluid would had taken over in the chest region which would cause heart failer to take place
