Yes. "Near death" experiences do sometimes occur. Some have said that even when a person thinks he is about to die, he can have similar experiences (Depersonalization in Response to Life-threatening Danger, by Russell Noyes Jr and Roy Klette). Various conditions, such as oxygen deprivation or reduced blood flow, can also induce similar experiences.

Near-death experiences are sometimes cited as evidence of an afterlife, but there has been no report of a person who has actually died (brain death) communicating with the "other side". The experiences reported by those who have suffered near-death are inevitably coloured by the sociocultural context of the patient (Experiences Near Death: Beyond Medicine and Religion, by Allan Kellehear). This suggests that the Christian afterlife is experienced by Christians, but the Hindu afterlife is experienced by Hindus.
