How is death determined in patients with rabies?
If your question is how to determine if a person died of rabies, the answer is: You can take brain biopsies (from hippocampal and cerebellar regions) and examine them for Negri bodies which are basically intracellular eosinophilic inclusion bodies seen in the neurons of people infected with rabies.
Determination of Death in Patients of Rabies • Biopsy to confirm brain death and absence of cerebral arterial flow • Respiratory failure • Cardiac failure
