At death consciousness passes through an interesting phase, for it really is a passing out from the body and from the world. Memories go, the past blots itself out, faces blur and identifications of their owners disintegrate. Tired, drowsy, overwhelmed by a feeling of withdrawing: mental activities, ratiocinations, imaginings, all crumble away and then there is nothing.
