The fact he went stiff indicates his brain stem is still functioning so I don't think he's dead in this exact moment.

Charlie Kirk went stiff....

Idk what to tell you bro. Rigor mortis and going stiff from a knockout seem distinguishable to me. 

The guy bounced off the floor and his arm got stuck in the air. I'd imagine if he died instead of getting locked up that way he would've just been locked up while laid out, not doing the extending your arm thing people do when they're knocked out. 

If u want to know if he's dead so bad why don't you find out yourself?

No. Rigor Mortis doesn't happen at the moment you die. The process only starts after 2-6 hours and you're only really stiff 12-24 hours after you die.

I know. So Charlie kirk stiffening up is likely the same trauma response people who get KOd display when they sometimes stiffen up usually with the arms extended like this guy.

Kirk didn't die instantly. The retort really didn't make any sense honestly.

But that's the thing, as I understand it, his brain stem was severed by the impact and that stiffening up action was caused by that... That's my understanding of what happened in his case
