There is something different about death, but probably not the experience of death (using the term loosely, lol).
No matter what's negated your ability to experience; be it chemical inhibitors, trauma, or the cessation of brain function...your ability to experience has been negated. Differences in other regards would not change the relevant similarity in this regard. Not all anaesthetics would qualify here, ofc, as some of them work more by inhibiting your ability to form memories or relate to the events of the present. A state of benign but conscious confusion.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
