passive voice - Being taken and being beaten


In the previous question I was told that these sentences are clumsy and their meanings are confusing:




  • Being taken to the hospital, he survived.





  • Being beaten by the snow, he died.




Can I convert these sentence into meaningfull sentences as follows:




  1. Being taken to the hospital, he died.




(To mean: while he was being taken to the hospital, he died)




  1. Being beaten by mother to her son, the father arrived.



(To mean: While the son was being beaten by his mother, the father arrived)


and,


Do I have to use "while" in front of "being+past participle in above sentences to imply those intended meanings?
