Near death is not death.
It depends on how you define death. In many, if not most, of these cases the person has flatlined and the brain waves have stopped.
The main aspect of these experiences is that they are able to perceive the world from a different point of view than their physical body when they should be unconscious . And they can describe in detail what the doctors are saying and doing while they are operating on the person, typically from a view above the operating table, or even chase down the paramedic vehicle if they have passed in that. This is verified by the doctors who talk to the recovered patient.
I read Burke’s first book, quite interesting to say the least.
