Answer: naomi, who is not breathing and whose heart is not beating

A person is considered clinically dead if their blood circulation and breathing is stopped because those two is needed to sustain live. Notice that the diagnosis need both of them, so only one of them is not enough. Helga and John has no problem in breathing and circulation, so they wont be considered clinically dead.
