Skin continues to perform a function after death, albeit temporarily.
While "active" is perhaps a strong word, skin maintains its structural integrity and holds internal organs in place for a period after death. This is more of a passive continuation of its pre-death function rather than an active process. The linked reference mentions that skin "continues to do a job after you die" in this capacity. However, like all other organs, skin eventually decomposes.
It is crucial to note that no body part remains "active" in the sense of performing its living functions (e.g., skin cells regenerating, etc.) after death. The continued structural role of the skin is the closest phenomenon to the concept of activity.
