Or perhaps, hear me out here, we could dedicate an entire field of science to understanding human biology, and train many people in this subject as professionals. They will be qualified to, among other things, examine a patient and determine objectively that they are deceased with no chance of revival. They can then verbally communicate this fact, or in other words, "pronounce" that the patient is dead.

idk I'm just spitballing here.

To this day people are pronounced dead and waking up.

How do we decide when exactly a subject has transitioned, irreversibly, from the state of living to one of dead?

When they stop responding to my smack talk?
