There is a state known as "clinical death", which means the heart and lung functions have ceased. It is medically induced during certain surgical procedures. It can occur during hypothermia - it is also a reason hypothermia is also used as a medical treatment, because the chance of permanent injury is reduced. Only with medical intervention is this state reversible, but it is reversible.
Considering no language has a single cut and dried definition of "life", it's a bit silly to be cocksure about death.
