      It takes a little while for all brain functions to cease when we die, although how this is experienced I do not know not everyone has a life flashing before eyes moment! I remember when I nearly drowned as a kid there was no flashing or anything, just peaceful blue light.

      If you talk to people who have near death experiences you’ll find they all have different experiences. So the answer is no: you have no idea what you will experience, and certainly can’t predict anything as precise as 7 minutes of flashback. That is not to say you won’t either: it is just one of many possibilities – most people have mental sensations as they lose consciousness, whther dying or losing consciousness another way, but it may also depend on things like how stressed you are.
