Assuming it were possible to place a human brain in a mechanical body, your type of death would be a large influence on whether you could still live or not. If only your vital organs stopped functioning (heart, lungs, etc.), then you might survive. However, if the brainwaves have ceased completely, then you would be considered "brain dead." This is sometimes used as the legal definition of death...
But I have to say, living for eternity as a cyborg would be kick-awesome. :P
Is it normal to want to have my brain implanted in a robot when I die?
