What Would A Person Feel If He Died Of A Brain Aneurysm?
what would a person feel if he died of a brain aneuriysm? My brother collapsed on the floor of the bathroom in the middle of the night, and it seemed like he took 2 strained inhales and then nothing. Paramedics weren't able to get a pulse and didn't even take him to the hospital. How did they know?

Hello,
One feels drowsy, fainting spells and unconscious. Any patient in an unconscious state attended by doctor or medical staff, one need to immediately assess his/her conscious level by gently thumping near the shoulder, if there is no response by the patient, we need to check his/her carotid pulse.
If carotid pulse is not palpable, BP not recordable, pupils dilated and fixed with ECG showing no electrical activity (FLAT LINE). Then it is declared as dead.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
