Then the poor guy does die, and when he, or she, wakes up their soul has left the body, and a demon inhabits it. Still has the brain of the person, so they still have all their memories. They don't age or die, except from...." Having finished the apple, she gently tossed the core into the bushes beside the path. Then she ticked off on her fingers: "Fire, lots of sunlight, beheading, or a wooden stake to the heart... um... yeah, I think that's mostly it."
