I mean for medical examiners or whatever to tell through technology or science methods or anything like that. I think it would be pretty neat for archival and history pruposes if that were possible and recorded for every death.

The brain: That's not how it works!
I remember a technology in development that let you see what they last saw. Somehow analying eyeballs for burn-in type malformations.
That was an episode of Fringe too.
actually I read it in The Demolished Man.
Every time I watch fringe I'm amazed at how much shit they steal from classic sci-fi books and pass it off as "original" storytelling.
I would assume they get away with passing it off as original since it's more of a mainstream show... the majority of folks who watch it probably haven't seen/read most of the things they steal from.
Either way, I haven't read The Demolished Man, so I may need to pick that up now.
It's already possible to tell what someone's last words were after they died. You just need someone to record them when the person is dying.
If you mean somehow discerning what the last words spoken were from a dead body then no.
No
