Both reported nothing. They saw nothing, they felt nothing. They said it was identical to having dreamless sleep.
I know a man who has been very very sick for the last year or so (with health problems stretching back several years), and just recently I was told that he had called his kids in to see him and said his good byes, that he was ready to meet his savior and was ready to die. When his wife (who told me the story) came in to check on him later, she accidentally woke him up and he said, "Oh, I'm still here?" because he thought he was going to die when he fell asleep.
Not exactly a near death experience, but an interesting expectation that wasn't met.
