Hm? Death can happen before birth. As is evident by the many women who lose their babies while still pregnant with them. If they are far enough in gestational age, death is identified by the heart beat stopping. Heartbeat begins at 16 days after conception.
What I mean is death to a fetus before birth is not the same as death to a baby after birth.
