Hmmm...interesting. My father had a vision on his death bed. He said 'Look, it's John. Right at the foot of the bed. He's come for me.'

Then he died.

I told my brother about his last words and asked "BTW, who the hell is John."

Bro: "That is the real name of his brother. our Uncle Jackie. He died 20 years ago."

In my experience with patients at or near the end, this is pretty normal. Hallucinations involving family/friends who have already died "appear" pretty regularly. Some patients describe very coherent and specific conversations they supposedly had with their dead parent or sibling, sometimes thinking they are still alive and sometimes recognizing that the person is dead.

There is absolutely no reason to ascribe anything supernatural to any of it.

There is absolutely no contradicting proof against ascribing anything supernatural to any of it either.

No one knows if there is an afterlife. But I am reminded of Socrates' speech upon being condemned to death:

"There is either life after death... or there is not. If there is not then death is like a dreamless sleep and not to be feared. If there is life after death there may be Heaven and Hell. If there is Heaven it will be wonderful to spend eternity discussing different topics with the great minds of antiquity. If there is a Hell you gentlemen of the jury will be going there for condemning an innocent man."
