I’ve heard stories from people who will sit by their dying family member at a hospital bed and when they dying person breathed their last breath and passed away the corpse had tears running down it’s face.

Both my grandmas died like this

Is this a religious experience or is this purely physiological?

When my sister passed from cancer at home there were no tears visible in her eyes or on her cheeks. I know because I was there as her hospice care-giver right after her last breaths. There were other signs, but they weren’t miraculous - just natural occurrences when one expires.

There is no significance in this other than perhaps a physical release such as often also happens to the bowel and bladder at the time of death.
 
Maybe just a result of pressure in one’s head when the circulation stops ( same reason why some people’s eyes bulge in death).

Not supernatural at all; if it were, Scripture would mention something about weeping in death. It does not.

Maybe it isn’t.

What would make you cry the moment you die?

Being sent to hell? Yes.

Seeing Jesus with His arms open? Yes.

I guess we won’t know.

Yes, extreme joy and sadness would make one cry. Some people may even cry when they die because they leave their loved ones behind.
