My problem with "broken" in this context is that it fails to distinguish between a brain that fails to function as intended in some important capacity -- for example, one that is incapable of identifying its person's wife -- and one that fails to function as intended in any capacity at all.
I guess I can go with "inanimate," if you want (since you say "ceases to be animate"). It seems weird to fail to distinguish between a corpse and a statue, but not unbearably weird.
Perhaps a different prefix would make it more clear that it is a formerly animate object, or between stages of being animate. E.g. postanimate or transanimate.
More optimistically, pre-reanimated.
