Answer

His vital functions were stopped when he was brought to hospital

I would suggest  'His vital functions were missing on arrival at hospital'  or 'His vital functions were absent . . . '

His vital functions were nil when he was brought to hospital.

In other words, he was DOA. (Dead On Arrival)

You could say:

His vital organs had already collapsed upon arrival at the hospital.

His body was non-responsive when he was brought to the hospital for medical attention.
