The human body is nothing short of a miracle in itself, and for years, scientists have been trying to solve the numerous puzzles it contains and poses. And as per a new report, scientists have discovered that for seconds after the heart stops, the brain still functions, meaning that you are aware of being dead.

It is further believed that for a short period of time, after death, the person would be "trapped" inside their dead body with the brain still functioning.
