Doctors have shared the important sign that someone is close to death - and it involves one of their senses being lost.
What happens around the time of death is a hard topic to gain knowledge about, especially surrounding how the person is feeling and the kind of things that they experience.
This is because the patient is often too weak or drowsy to explain how they feel, and instead doctors have to rely on the accounts of those who are in the room with them, such as family and friends.
