Will a deceased person who was in a coma on a ventilator be resurrected in the same state as before the coma, or in the state they were in, or will their end be improved? And is a foul odor one of the signs of a bad end?

May Allah forgive the deceased and have mercy on him. It was narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that every deceased person will be resurrected upon the state in which they died, whether good or evil. What matters is their condition before the coma, from which responsibility was lifted due to the loss of their intellect. The emission of a foul odor or a yellow color, and the like, may be a result of illness and not a sign of a bad ending. We ask Allah to increase His benevolence if he was a doer of good, and to overlook his sins if he was a doer of evil.
