Life (seconds-long or minutes-long) after death may be possible, or not

According to a research done by a team at New York University’s Langone School of Medicine, people, especially those who suffered a heart attack may aware of their death because their brain is still active after they're clinically dead. Dr. Sam Parnia told Live Science “Technically speaking, that’s how you get the time of death — it’s all based on the moment when the heart stops.”  Dr. Parnia said: “They’ll describe watching doctors and nurses working; they’ll describe having awareness of full conversations, of visual things that were going on, that would otherwise not be known to them,” but this belief has been around for a while. It's called Near death experience, and only those who 'come back to life' can talk about it.
Now, let's be honest. If they managed to resuscitate you, that means you've never been really dead because being dead means one thing and one thing only: you're dead! Brain activity after clinical death isn't surprising. Our brains remain active when we sleep, when we are under anesthesia, etc. So, if a dead person never came back to tell us about his death, how can we know for sure that they were aware of their death?
