A brain injury resulting in death may be a result of a stroke or heart attack, yet also may result from a violent event which afflicts the brain by stopping its flow of life-sustaining blood. This may occur when the brain enlarges after injury, thereby pressing against the skull and eliminating oxygenating blood. Other organs in the body can swell without such pressure, but the skull protecting the brain prevents blood flow when the brain swells inside the skull.

In the most extreme cases, a brain injury can be fatal. Such a tragedy can culminate with a doctor declaring that the victim is "brain dead." This assessment signifies the injured person's brain has a halt to all activities that is unchangeable. Upon the occasion that a brain is dead, it can't be brought back to life. Even though the person may have other live organs, brain death signifies death of the individual.
