It only really works if you know you're gonna die and have time to reflect and even then I don't think it makes sense because I think there are people who genuinely don't care who they've sh*t on.
I've talked to a number of doctors about this while doing research on a short story I was writing. There's going to be a few ticks where there's still oxygenated blood in your brain even after the bus runs you over. They all agree that the brain will keep working until fully starved, and will probably still comprehend the situation. Can't be proven obviously.

That being said, stick a shotgun in your mouth and all bets are off.
