If your conciousness did slip into another universe, then wouldn't your brain flat-line.
If we are to believe that there is a coorolation between brainwaves and conciousness, then the precese of one implies the other or the absence of one implies the other.



Yeah, which is why it's unlikely that this happened. Death is generally defined in most countries as a situation in which the brain flat-lines. That is, there is no major central nervous system activity and there is no detectable electrical activity in the brain's cerebral cortex. At this point, the person may be declared dead in many jurisdictions. The patient may appear to be breathing, as a result of the action of a respirator. Her/his heart may still be beating, either on its own or as a result of a heart pacemaker. But he/she is judged to be dead. Unplugging the patient from life support systems at this point will not actually kill the patient; she/he is already considered to be dead. Hence they would have pulled the plug on that guy in such an event. Brain flat-lines in a vegetative state usually is reason enough to give up on the patient,
