A still birth is defined as death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, provided that the product is one of twenty-eight (28) weeks gestation or over; the death is indicated by the fact that after such separation the product does not breathe or show any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles.
