that would fit EXACTLY with my theory, that those last moments of life are exponentially dragged out, "smeared" in a sense, and that instead of experienceing death, what we experience is the inexorable descent into death, never experienceing the present moment of death but instead the eternal and infnite moments leading up to it.
