    no specificity, but you can expect tachycardia and bradycardia which is dependent on the pathology.

    It would depend on the reason for their comatose condition. Do they have any heart related reason why they are in this state? Their heart rates should be as varied as non-comatose patients...

    would depend on the underlying health of the person , the age and complicating factors. Usually the rate is 60is but again it depends, all systems are slowed down.
