      This is a breathing pattern for people who are dying:: It begins with slow, shallow breathing,and escalates to deep breathing, and then rapid breathing, and then decreases to slow, shallow breathing once again. This is followed by a period of apnea( stop breathing). This continues until the apnea is permanent and death occurs.
