You are not balancing the equation. You persist in ignoring the fraction of input that is organized to form the orderly structures that form the body, organs, cells, organelles, etc. of the creature while it is alive. Instead you act as if the effluent is totality; it is not.

As bb implied, once that active, structured organization ceases at death, entropy approaches totality.

It is not an equation; it is an inequality. The decrease in entropy of a localized volume of space-time must be less than the resultant increase in entropy of the rest of the universe.

While I admit that the localized observation may see decreased entropy, the increase to the rest of the universe will be greater than that decrease.

As bb implied, once that active, structured organization ceases at death, entropy approaches totality.

Negative. The results of death are stable particles, plus resultant energies (heat, etc.). In order to achieve the maximum entropy for that death, all matter has to be transformed into random energies.
