So you are asserting that oxygen deprivation does not cause measurable structural changes in the organism?

I am saying no such thing and you know it. If it lasts long enough it results in death and the individual cannot be revived at all. However, the fact that someone may have stopped breathing is not a certain indication of death as the person may be revived.

Which leaves you still after some 1000 posts since it was asked and many unsuccessful attempts at refutation with the question of what is the difference in matter between an organism one minute before death and one minute after. Materialists claim that there is no 'magic life substance', that life is just a bundle of matter and nothing else. If that were the case then it should be easy to point out when an organism dies and the differences between the moment before and the moment after death yet there is no material difference that can be pointed out.

The differences at any point along the path to death can be clearly understood, clearly defined, clearly studied and clearly detected. In the absense of some catastrophe, such as fire or explosion, cells die of asphyxiation. One by one. No large, multicelled organism dies all at once. Nothing happens that can't be studied.
