Mostly dead is not dead
Does anyone remember Man-Made Monster (1941) a horror film from Universal Pictures, starring Lon Chaney, Jr.?
He survived electrocution that killed all the others in a bus accident where a high power line was hit. Then he was impervious to electric shocks.
Amazingly this was recalled in the comedy The Owl and the Pussycat (1970) where Barbara Streisand retells the plot to George Segal. One of my favorite movies.
Jon Snow might beg to differ. He walked off from Castle Black and said “My watch has ended!” after being revived from the dead. :)
Right. If he were all dead, they would have gone through his pockets to check for loose change.
Near death is not death.
