Like if they die with braces, a metal retainer, earrings, a gold tooth, a pacemaker, et cetera.

So a pacemaker will keep going even if the person no longer has brain activity. So a strong magnet is swiped over the chest to turn it off. Not sure what they do with it after that, though
- It's this kind of irresponsibility that leads to a zombie apocalypse.
- I believe they have to remove it before burying/cremating them
