Using Full Life Support, Sweating, Goosebumps. Brain Dead Or Chance Of Recovery?

Hello, one of my family members ,had to be put on full life support,after not breathing for a long time (unknown amount),they say he may be brain dead,but he still has been getting goosebumps and sweating at times,they don't know why he has been doing this if he is brain dead, has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Is there a possibility he has not lost all brain function,and could recover?
They say he has blood going to brain ,but its swollen and its going around the brain.

HI
Thank fro asking to HCM
After complete clinical history and going through the all reports it will be possible to give right advise,, if the medical team says "Brain dead" means 'coma' and in comatose state, person remains in vegetative state, the motor functions stop working, (Upper) means person does not follow the commands, for prognosis clinical observation is necessary, have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
