Low oxygen levels in the brain are often proposed as a major explanation for near-death experiences. But some studies report NDEs in patients without clear oxygen deprivation, and similar experiences can occur in situations where death is believed to be imminent — even when the body is physically stable.

That doesn’t prove a survival hypothesis. But it does raise questions about whether hypoxia alone is sufficient.
