Dead, as in clinically dead, doesn't necessarily mean brain dead. It just means that your heart stopped beating correctly long enough to stop your pulse and breathing. For an in universe example Danzo's last seal was set up to activate upon his death (ie when his heart stopped) but he still had enough consciousness to have his last flashback and apparently enough strength to destroy his right eye.
It's not even that rare of a trope, it's just a basic case of heroic willpower.
