Interesting. I wonder if humans can subconsciously pick up on it. Supposedly humans can often subconsciously detect when someone else is in the room through tiny vibrations in the air. There is definitely some visual quality that separates a dead person from a live one, but I personally think it's something with the pupils. It'd be cool if it was miniscule traces of light, though.
It's the stillness. It's there even when the pupils aren't visible, although there are some changes with the eyes after death (tache noir comes to mind).
