Mr Sarkozy has been made an assisted witness in the on-going case, and Mr Metzner was representing Mrs Bettencourt’s daughter, Francoise Bettencourt-Meyers.
It has seen Mr Sarkozy and his lieutenants accused of receiving millions of pounds worth of illegal cash from Liliane Bettencourt, the I’Oreal heiress and richest woman in the world, in return for future tax breaks. Reversing the slide toward death, Leach notes, “tends to come when a survivor finds or recovers a sense of choice, of having some control, and tends to be accompanied by that person licking their wounds and taking a renewed interest in life.Metzner was France's leading lawyer and was involved in some of country's most high profile cases That experience can release critically important dopamine into the brain, which brings them back to a state of life they previously experienced. Common interventions include physical activity or introducing a person to a situation that they recognize as one they can truly control. Of course, when someone is experiencing these stages, it is possible to revive them. They might be lying in their own excreta and nothing-no warning, no beating, no pleading can make them want to live.” In some cases the time between stage four and five can be as little as three or four days. As described by Leach, “It’s when someone then gives up. This final stage is marked by the disintegration of a person. She was so apathetic toward the pain that she didn’t bother removing herself from the heat. As Leach describes it, one woman in this stage went to the beach and walked away with second degree burns. In some cases, a person won’t flinch if they are threatened physically. Even extreme pain is difficult to feel in this stage, which is marked by further loss of motivation. Essentially, the brain switches to standby mode and a person loses any motivation whatsoever. People who have recovered from this stage have described feeling as though their mind was made of mush. They withdraw even deeper into themselves. A person might stop cleaning themselves or even speaking to others. This is the stage where physical activity starts to drop off. For people in this stage, Leach says, the smallest tasks can feel like the mightiest of efforts. It’s a deep sense of melancholy that can indicate a person no longer strives for self-preservation. This has been seen in prisoners of war, who have described this state as feeling vegetative and passive. But if left unchecked, it can morph into full-on withdrawal. This is actually a coping mechanism, an attempt to pull back from outward emotional engagement as a means to realign emotion stability. When someone experiences severe trauma, one of the first signs is that they show a lack of emotion, and a listlessness that indicates an indifference toward life. Once the malfunction occurs, Leach explains, five distinct stages typically precede death: If a person experiences severe trauma, it’s entirely possible that the event could trigger a malfunction in that circuit. When a person struggles to feel motivation, coping with life becomes more difficult and apathy can set in. The condition may have everything to do with the inner workings of the brain, particularly changes that occur within a person’s anterior cingulate circuit, which is the area that controls motivation. “It isn’t suicide, it isn’t linked to depression, but the act of giving up on life and dying usually within days, is a very real condition often linked to severe trauma.” “Psychogenic death is real,” says University of Portsmouth researcher John Leach in a related statement.
