Exactly. The human body reacts to stress in a similar way from one body to the next.
Reflexes, adrenalin, etc. all spike or wane and can produce a similar experience.
Nothing magical about "near death" at all. Not surprising people recall common reactions.

I can't ignore coincidental events either. A mammal shuts down, but recovers just in time.
Close call, lucky, second chance, whatever. Life-changing simply because...

Nothing religious about any of that from my point of view. Revises personal philosophy about life, perhaps.

The accounts of meeting Angels, God, Jesus, and people they know who are helping them through this are very detailed, often non-denominational, and usually have very similar aspects, some of which are provable but can't be explained. 

I tend to be a pretty practical and even skeptical person, and not one to just say something is "truth" because the Bible says so.  But, IMHO, these shared experiences are worth listening to, and not just dismissing as something purely physiological.  Surely, I could be wrong in thinking there is something "more" to this, but I also think it would be wrong to categorically dismiss all of these accounts.
