There is no reason to fear death.
Unfortunately, this topic is problematic because people either want to believe in life after death or they don't want to believe. There is enough bias to go around on both sides. I urge you to read the literature on this topic with an open mind. In many cases, there is quite compelling data.

Here's an interesting article on a study which preported to show that people could have near death experiences when their brains were not receiving oxygen (i.e., they were clinically dead).

I am also aware of cases where people have reacted to potentially dangerous stimuli in situations where their senses could not possibly detect them (e.g., the so-called eye in the back of your head effect).
