That doesn't speak to consciousness, we would say a sleeping person is unconscious, yet be off somewhere in a dream, being fully aware in this space to the point of remembering the experience, which shows there consciousness is somewhere, just not in body.
Someone asleep still has very clear & measurable brain waves. Besides, they're very much alive.
This all stops post-mortem.
