I am so sorry, I am really not trying to be a jerk and put people down or anything at all, I just noticed this and wanted to put what I've learned about this -
after the body dies (heart and breathing stop) the brain can survive around 6 minutes or so. This is evident in the fact that people "die", their hearts stop, their breathing stops, and they are revived with no problems. Because the brain can survive for around 6 minutes with no blood flow, no oxygen, and still basically be okay.
And just for fun - I have a friend that had a ruptured apendix and she died in the hospital for 4 1/2 minutes before they finally revived her. She came out 100% okay, no memory loss, nothing at all wrong. And she didn't see a light, and she didn't hear voices. nothing. Just like being asleep, only like being really deeply asleep. So there you go, straight from the mouth of a dead chick.
