The larger claim here is that something supernatural survives the physical death of a functioning human brain, and since there is no objective evidence that this is possible, this is more than sufficient rational and epistemological reason to withhold belief from any such claim, and claims of an afterlife.
There is however objective evidence that human consciousness is an emergent property of a functioning human brain. As others have pointed out, when it is impaired, consciousness is impaired, and we can directly connect the impairment to the damaged areas of the brain. consciousness disappears every single time a person's brain dies and never returns without that functioning brain, no exceptions.
