The Lifeless or Clinically dead state in Samadhi

In the second technique of attaining the state of samadhi,the atma-tattva(soul or pure consciousness)along with the accumulating prana-shakti (life force) and the linga sharira (the subtle body), transcends the brahmrandhra (crown centre) and resorts to the outer cosmic space.

Are there any evidences from the annals of history that acknowledge the lifeless or clinically dead state in samadhi?

Indeed,the clinically dead condition of the body in the state of samadhi finds acknowledgement not just in history but also in philosophical and scriptural texts.To quote a few:

1)Historical Evidences-Flipping through the pages of history,we find numerous instances wherein the symptoms of lifelessness or clinical death are reflected in the state of samadhi of saints,yogies,and satgurus.For example-

a)samadhi of shridi Sai Baba
      Sai Baba entered into Nirvikalpa Samadhi by transcending his prana to outer cosmic space.His skin tone altered.At once,his eyeballs turned upwards and gradually got covered with eyelids.Instantly,Sai fell lifeless.His heartbeat stopped and all bodily functions came to a halt.It seemed as if his prana had left the body.Doctors declared his state as death due to an asthmatic attack. Narasimha Swami,a well-known biographer writes-'Even the color of sai's body turned livid.'
