      Hi @jadoolan
      The scientific answer is your body stops functioning and will begin to decay.

      What nobody knows is whether your conscious mind, or soul, or some other part of ‘you’ just ends, or goes to heaven, or becomes a ghost, or what.

      Scientists generally believe that it just ends, and this is what I believe too. I wish there was an afterlife, but I don’t think there is. I’d love to be proved wrong though 🙂

      Hope this answers your question!
