When the soul leaves, it's called "death". The heart beats no more, and that is the evidence. Where there's life, there's the soul. And often the soul can perceive beyond the ability of the senses or body to respond. Even people in comas often can hear, and have said they could hear, once they came out of the coma.
Some people just like death, since it suits their purposes, whatever purposes they have.
Absolutely. I have made the same point. And recently there has been greater evidence and testimony that the above is true.
