When people who have an OBE see their bodies from above does this means that their brain is still active or it means that the consciousness has separated from a dead body-brain?

Like I said, you just suck at listening.
As Chas informed you. Death is a process, not an event. And parts of that process linger on after the blood is no longer flowing. If it weren't, the cells would all be dead the moment that blood flow stops and there would be no returning. But as we've seen, the cells don't all at once stop working merely because there's no more blood flow to them. They keep working, sometimes for fairly long periods of time.

Despite your protestations, the brain isn't truly dead until it's truly dead.
Quote:The brain can survive for up to about six minutes after the heart stops. The reason to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is that if CPR is started within six minutes of cardiac arrest, the brain may survive the lack of oxygen. After about six minutes without CPR, however, the brain begins to die. (See How CPR Works to learn more about the procedure.) Prompt resuscitation allows the physician time to assess and treat the damaged brain. Medication and mechanical ventilation permit tissue oxygenation, but severe brain damage or a prolonged period without oxygen or glucose causes the death of the brain.
By definition, "brain death" is "when the entire brain, including the brain stem, has irreversibly lost all function." The legal time of death is "that time when a physician(s) has determined that the brain and the brain stem have irreversibly lost all neurological function."
