Confirmation of death is something all doctors do. It’s happening a lot right now.
I often wonder what other healthcare professionals do at that moment. Not the actual ‘no carotid pulse palpable etc’ but the unspoken stuff. I address them by name (silently) & bid them goodbye.

They are often away from family at that moment & acknowledging their life & death even if you don’t know them is a privilege. The dignity & quiet gentle care nurses provide after death is humbling.
