    There is some gray area as to when a corpse is a corpse or just mostly dead. They aren’t an object until they are all dead.

      I know it’s a joke, but I’d say “mostly dead” is just when you roll death saves.

        Nah it’s an arbitrary window determined by your DM’s level of patience

          I’d say it’s quite clear by RAW that once your third death save-fail happens your very much dead-dead. The DM is allowed to change any RAW of course (as this is RAW too), but without those changes it’s very much not arbitrary.

        That’s dying. Bleeding out. It’s not even necessarily truly unconscious (even if it is Unconscious).
