The same way I explain alien abductions, yeti sightings or images of Christ in someone's burnt toast (over-active imagination). Near-death experiences are random although religious/spiritual people will tell you that they're evidence of an afterlife.

Both of my parents are ICU nurses. They've talked to lots of people who have had near-death experiences. The experiences people have are random. Most people see nothing, some see a bright light, some hear what is going on in the room, some have strange dreams. The brain is still very much alive even when the heart isn't beating. The drugs and intense electrical shocks delivered to the body to restart the heart are a much more likely explanation for why near-death experiences happen.
