HEARING is the last sense to go when a person dies

This is definitely new to me! This week, I just learned that the last sense to go when a person is dying is their sense of HEARING.  Since my instructor didn't go into further discussion about this topic, I did my own research.  Since this is new to me and want to find out more about it,  according to sources, the last part of the human body to stop functioning when a person dies is their brain stem. Since the ears are close to the brain, they will have a decent blood supply as long as the brain has blood, which explains why the sense of HEARING is the last sense to go when a person is dying.  Definitely new to mee. just sharing.
