The body may function very differently near the time of death. There are several outward differences that take place when a person is about to die. The person will become more tired and drowsy, feeling the need to sleep more often. Their appetite may also decrease, causing them to eat very little, and even drink less. Their temperature can change, it may get higher or lower, depending on how close they are to death. Their skin might also change colors, and become discolored and blotchy. These changes are caused by the decreased circulation in the body. The person may also breathe strangely. Their breathing pattern will change, and there may be long pauses between breaths. It also may sound louder than usual. This is also caused by low circulation and waste in the body. http://palliativecare.org.au/resources/the-dying-process | The body may function very differently near the time of death.
