I think you are focusing too much on the fact that a being needs to be an individual organism, which is kind of an implementation detail.

What I wonder instead is whether reasoning is a property that is either there or not there, with a sharp boundary of existence.

The dead organism cannot reason. It's simply a survivorship-bias. Reasoning evolved like any other survival mechanism.
