I think this was more in reference to the little present Divia left her Dad in
Fever.
Most people have minds like concrete: mixed up or permanently set.

HA! It's not the "beer" fridge that needs locking!

I've seen numerous references to the fact that a spasm/twitch/involuntary
muscle movement can occur in the recently dead (several hours is the
figure I remember through a haze). Although the person is dead...the
complete shutdown of the entire structure of the body takes a while.
During that time, if the body develops a "short" you can get a eye to
wink or a hand to clench or some other simple muscle movement.
Although it never happened to Natalie, I remember an X-File where Scully
was conducting an autopsy and the body winked at her. Although she
understood the phenomenon and explained it to Mulder, it did shake her
a bit. Can't say that I blame her.
