What real "evidence" is there of a person actually dying, experiencing an afterlife, and returning to tell the factual tale?

This evidence would have to be more than what can be explained by the process of the brain starting to shutdown.

Most recently Colton Burpo and Dr. Mary C. Neal

I'm not sure about the examples that you provided. Perhaps a link would help.

Anyway, the illusion of "passing on to an afterlife" can be recreated with electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain and/or through certain types of drugs.

It doesn't take much to throw a person's chemistry off. During trauma, the brain can imagine all sorts of things. Heck, even during normal sleep, a person can imagine all sorts of things. It would make sense for a person to imagine the things that they already know about. It's not surprising that a person who has been told (sometimes repeatedly) about Heaven/Hell would imagine images of these "places."

Most so-called experiences of an afterlife have been debunked or explained. Unfortunately, afterlife is a convenient scenario that would only prove itself after a person is dead. Even if there is an afterlife, I'm not sure how I would process any sort of input or retain any memories of events.
