      that would mean we live more than once, which is not the case

      No. If your brain stops working, then you are dead, and there’s no way to start your brain up again. If your brain is still working then you’re not dead.
      Your heart can stop, and it might seem as though your dead then, but doctors can restart your heart, and as long as your brain is still working then you’ll still be alive.

      When you die, it happens because the organs in your body are too broken to be able to work any more. Once your dead your organs keep falling apart, and so it’s never possible to bring people back to life once they’ve died. So if you can’t live more than once, you can’t die more than once.

      Depends what you mean by die. I a lot of people have technically died. If your heart stops on an operating table (which it often does) and you stop breathing you’re dead, but then they get your heart going again and you’re not. Once your brain goes dead though, that’s pretty much game over.

      There are some people who have been pronouced dead, then found to be in a really deep hibernation like state. That happened to my mate. He has a death certificate. It’s really weird.
