Ensuring Victim Dies

In a murder trial, an ER physician who confirmed the death of the victim was called as a witness.

Lawyer: "Before you signed the death certificate, did you check the victim's pulse?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: " heart rate, did you check?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "breathing?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "So, when you signed the death certificate, were you sure the man was still breathing or not?"
Witness: "I signed the letter after seeing the victim's brain is on the table in the emergency room. What is not enough to make sure the victim is dead?"
