If the Kirlian Aura is indicative of thoughts prior to electrical signal messages and lasts for three days after clinical death, then can we interpret a dead person's final thought ?

I am guessing your average persons final thought boils down to either, "it is all over then, perhaps wishing they had done something in their life" or having gone to sleep at the time of their demise were not thinking at all.

The answer is yes or no.

Yes. You can measure, interpret, divine etc any damn thing you like from any phenomenon, real or imagined, be it a dream, the entrails of a chicken, or a Kirlian aura.

No. In the case of a dead person's last thoughts, there is no way of knowing whether your guess interpretation is correct.

But here's a clue. Whoever he is, and however he died, his last thought was not "I wish I'd spent more time in the office."

And another clue (a real one this time). An old colleague is a forensic phonetician. He gets called in by all sorts of services to determine whether, for instance, two intercepted voices are the same person, is the speaker stressed or faking it, etc. He speaks umpteen languages and recognises umpteen more. He tells me that, whatever the native language of the speaker, training takes over in moments of extreme stress and the last words on every cockpit voice recording are, always in English, "Oh sh1t!"  I've heard a few, beginning in German, Chinese, and Afrikaans, but always ending in English.
