The brain and all the structures it supplies need oxygen to function (the brain accounts for 20 per cent of all oxygen used in the body). Once the blood vessels in the neck are severed, the oxygen supply is halted. Whatever oxygen remains in the blood and tissues after the fatal blow would certainly be there for use, but it wouldn’t last long.

Movement would only be possible in tissue or structures still attached to the head, such as muscles for moving the eyes or the mouth because the nerves supplying those muscles would still be connected.

I think it’s been documented the longest time someone survived without a body is 2 min or so (maybe 1 min)
