perimortem

Around the death

Perimortem means occurring at or near the time of death.

The term appears most often in medical and forensic contexts: perimortem injuries, perimortem cesarean section.

It occupies the space between antemortem (before death) and postmortem (after death), describing events in the immediate window surrounding the moment life ends.
