And people who experience such a event awaken from unconsious state of being dead and report that they moved through a tunnel of darkness towards the light at the end of that tunnel and emerged in another place.

Have you ever heard of dissociative drugs? After taking ketamine people say that they felt as though they were looking down a tunnel then out through their eyes. Many other strange things happen when your brain starts to switch off (which is essencially what happens when you take K) and time perception is altered too. A near death experience could be explained in simillar terms. Does a dream take as long for our brains to process as the events in the dream take to happen? Or can it all take place in a matter of a few seconds? Can a NDE take place while the person is losing and resuming conciousness, rather than the interlude between?
As JohnMK puts it;

The near-death experience is probably just our mind doing some really interesting things in its last throes of quasi-life, and probably not worm holy things.

Also I think the connection you made between the 'death' of a star and the actuall death of a human being is desultory. Empirical at best.
