Right, I took that to mean "the process of dying," kickstarted by the stopping of the heart, since the context was explaining why he had to briefly stop the heart. There was the "she's gone" but that's basically a dramatic trope, saying "s/he's gone|dead," just before a character proves to not be actually gone|dead. They were def worried, but the concern seemed about Clarke's consciousness being lost forever as her system was "dying" throughout the struggle with Josie.

Anyhow it's not worth arguing about further if you feel strongly about it. Perhaps splitting out that it was just her body that was "temporarily killed" (like we've split out Primes' bodies/hosts' deaths vs mind-wiping or the destruction of one's Mind Drive) would be a compromise, since her consciousness/mind didn't die though the process - whether her body "temporarily died" or simply had a temporary heart stoppage.
