It's easy, even for someone who has never encountered it before, to know when someone has died.  Yes, there are cases of mistakes being made, but usually death is plain.  I would put this down to a dream or, perhaps, wishful thinking.  There is no medical or scientific evidence that I'm aware of to back up such "visions".

To the other, I can't say.  I have experienced such a thing personally before (last year when my favourite cousin died).  I can't explain it but I won't accept that it has a supernatural origin without support for that claim.

Even if it is supernatural, that doesn't prove any particular god or religion.

In 25 years working in hospitals and long term care I have seen many, many people take their last breath. Never saw anythng unusual. I have read many accounts of witnesses using the dying processes of others to promote their agendas though.

Your experience is not indicative of everyone experience, and really has no bearing on anything other than showing you're totally ignorant of the subject matter and really shouldn't be commenting on it.

You guys claim that the default position is "I don't know", except it really isn't...
