| For a dying declaration to be admissible in evidence, it must be shown that 1) death was imminent and the declarant was conscious of that fact; 2) the declaration refers to the cause and the surrounding circumstances of the death; 3) the declaration relates to facts that the victim was competent to testify on; 4) the declarant thereafter died; and 5) the declaration is being offered in a criminal case in which the declarant's death is the subject of inquiry.[35] | |||||
