Death By Deprivation. Under relatively normal circumstances, we start struggling after a few minutes without oxygen. Without being able to convert energy and use it up, cells start to die. This happens throughout the entire body, but it is the brainâs lack of oxygen that is most urgent. âThe brain is a highly metabolically active organ,â Tishler said. âIt needs oxygen to generate the energy to function. Without the energy (without oxygen) it dies.â The brain normally takes up about 20 percent of the bodyâs oxygen.
