According to Psychology Today, a near-death experience (NDE) is a state of consciousness, semi-consciousness, or recalled perception that occurs when a person is close to death or temporarily undergoes the process.

The tunnel of light could be caused by reduced blood flow to the retina. Still, near-death experiences remain a subject of debate with no definitive explanation.
