When you die you will know there is an after-life, you will not know if there is an absence of one.
One of the problems with the white light and floating above my body reasonings is that the person isn't dead. The brain isn't dead in these situations, in fact, its most likely working harder than its ever worked in its which would cause all kinds of trippy experiences. So when the patient is resuscitated there is no reason they wouldn't remember their "after-life" experience.
What's really interesting is there are drugs that can keep your brain alive for days while doctors try to get your other organs working again. Now that is some scary shit.
