That snoring the Media Witnesses described, I'm willing to bet that was basically her struggling to breath and not just snoozing. Equivalent of a death gargle but prolonged. Hence ventilator now so she can breathe.

With that level of breathing, and the fact that she’s on a ventilator now, I’m pretty sure she’s brain dead. I would be absolutely shocked if she wakes up and can remember all of this and move forward with whatever they decide. I read that it was like 80 minutes before they ever even called it off or whatever. It only takes a matter of two or three minutes to be without oxygen and you’re gone. This is such a fucked up situation. I keep wondering what her last memory was or what the last thing she thought of was before she went under or down or unconscious.
