Where Is Life Located In Humans,Thirumandhiram

Prana ,as described in Hinduism , is the Life Force that flows and pervades the Body. If Life becomes extinct, all parts of the body too go? Is Life located in some place in the body? Is it in Sahasrara Chakra, the center between the two eyebrows on the forehead? Or is in the Navel?Or is it in the Heart?
