A member asked:
Are you considered legally dead if you have less then 1 percent body fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low body fat: An extremely low body fat percentage would be a sign of poor health but would not indicate death in any way. There is no such thing as legally dead based on body fat. Death is based on lack of breathing, heartbeat, and brain activity.
