Yeah, I suspect a lot of the NDEs we hear about are marketing ploys. A believer has a bad medical experience and either lies about what happened or convinces themselves that something happened.
Not to say that people never have some sort of perithanatic experience - oxygen-starved brains do funny things. I imagine that whether such experiences are heavenly or hellish depends in large part on the believer's upbringing and beliefs.
