sga research question

In Stargate Atlantis, do life sign detectors pick up bodies that are stunned by wraith stun guns? Do these bodies read as 'alive' or do they not register on the life sign detector?

Any canon evidence either way? Or is it up to me to make this up?

Ford gets picked up via Atlantis' lifesign detector (big one in the control room, not the small handhelds) at the beginning of Siege 3. I don't think we ever see Everett being found on a lifesign detector; he just shows up in the infirmary in Siege 3.

Re: Ford. He's unconscious when he's found. So he's not stunned per se, but he's not up and moving, either. If the lifesigns detectors can pick up unconscious bodies, I think they could do Wraith-stunned bodies as well. It's just bodies in stasis/hibernation that don't seem to show up?

Thank you! I will check all of this! Because for fic purposes, it makes a big difference whether you're wraith stunned or unconscious or in stasis.
