The French were pretty curious about this. On occasion, a French scientist would ask the condemned to blink after being guillotined. Twenty or thirty seconds was common. Also they could sometimes follow you with their eyes and mouth words.
In England, deaf people were sometimes said to read the lips of the executed to record the last "words".
