For that matter, I don't think I'd declare a character dead, just unconscious, if their ST wasn't negative due to actual wounds. Fatigue would wear off at the normal rate, and they'd regain consciousness when ST got back to 1. Otherwise we really don't have much of a mechanism in this game for representing unconsciousness short of death, except for the special case of being at exactly zero ST, with at least 1 of the outstanding hits being fatigue. As is, the margin between dead and unconscious is terribly narrow.
