There are plenty of documented incidents of people determined to be clinically dead (no detectable heartbeat or brain activity) and reviving with remarkably similar stories.

Near Death Experiences (NDE's) tend to include the person observing their own bodies being worked on by doctors, with details they couldn't have seen with eyes taped shut and under full anaesthesia. Then the "tunnel", the "light", the feeling of warmth and being loved, life review, greeting by passed family members, and being told that they have to go back to complete an important task (not their time).

They aren't as rare as one might guess. And in some cases the experience is awful, an image of Hell. Atheists and skeptical medical professionals have "come back" believing in consciousness outliving the flesh. Unless and until it happens to me I'll remain questioning, but this story isn't at all uncommon.

Excellent short summary.

There are variations on that theme but you have nailed the basics.
