(from the Transhumanist Terminology (http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Words/index-2.html) pages)
A person has reached information-theoretic death if a healthy state of that person could not possibly be deduced from the current state. The exact timing of information-theoretic death depends on presently unknown details of how the brain works. The current best estimates put it several hours after clinical death.
