7 clear signs that death is near (and how to deal with them).

Here are the 7 most common signs that death is near:

1. Excessive sleepiness and disconnection from the environment
2. One of the first signs is increased sleep. The person sleeps almost all day and has difficulty responding to stimuli. This deep sleepiness indicates that the body is reducing its functions to conserve energy.
   2. Loss of appetite and food refusal

   The body begins to reject food and liquids. Even favorite foods become unappealing. This is because the body no longer needs external energy to function.

   3. Changes in breathing

   Breathing may become irregular, with long pauses between inhalations. Nasal flaring or noisy breathing known as a “death rattle” may also occur.

   4. Cold skin and purplish color in extremities

   Circulation decreases, so the hands, feet, and lips may turn bluish or purplish. It is also common for the skin to feel cold to the touch, especially in the extremities.
