to be in the death agony
The problem is that we don't have a verb for it in English. Over 300,000 refs for "in the death agony." It's the point when all the systems start to fail. Some patients show strong physical manifestations, which is where the term gets its loaded connotation. Other patients die quietly and there is no outward struggle. I'd rather not show text examples - they can be pretty strong.
