In other, medical works it is said that if the body (of the patient) is heated by too much heat but the pulse is cool or if the body is very cool but the pulse is very hot (having too much heat), the movement of the pulse is of different types, then the death of the patient is known to be as certain.
It is also stated that the pulse of a patient becomes non-moving at the time of death. In this case it should be understood that there take place much less beatings of the pulse than its natural beatings.
