ELI5: If a person dies of organ failure such as liver or kidneys, what alerts their body that the rest of the organs can now stop working?

This may sound like a strange question, I’m just genuinely curious as to whether or not they literally just stop running at the exact same time or if that organ quits and then the rest follow it.

There's no signal. The liver doesn't die and send a signal out for everything else to immediately stop. It dies and stops doing its job of filtering out toxins, which causes toxins to damage, and eventually kill, the other organs.
