Do Dying People See Angels, Lights & Tunnels?

Common Sense Commentary: I must confess, I don't know, I have never died... yet.
So, I can neither confirm nor deny these things happen.  If it did happen to me, I don't think it would change or strengthen my faith at all.  "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen."  Heb.11:1.  When the rich man, in hell, (Luke 16:19-31) begged Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his brothers, still alive, that hell was real, so they would repent and not come to that awful place, Abraham told him this.  He said, they have the Bible (Old Testament) "Moses and the prophets", let your brothers hear them. But the man said, in effect, "They don't believe the Bible, but if someone went to them, like Lazarus the beggar, whom they know died at my gate, they will repent and believe".  But Abraham said, If they won't believe the Bible, they wouldn't be persuaded to believe if someone arose from the dead and told them.  "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?"  Rom.8:24.  If you "see" a thing, it requires no faith or hope whatever. You see it.  People seldom lie when they are dying or immediately after they revive.  I do not doubt that many people, when dying, have seen some amazing things which very well could have been given to them by God for His own reasons.  I would think an unsaved person who saw such a "vision", if that's what it is, would, upon revival, accept Christ and hit the ground running.

Here is a U.S. Senator who says he had such and experience. 
It doesn't sound like he was too anxious to go on to heaven, but maybe he felt he had a lot to offer to this old world and, like Paul, wanted the opportunity to share it. Paul said, "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:  Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you." Phil.1:23-24.

(DAILY HERALD) For Mark Kirk, there was no white light, no tunnel.
What Illinois’ junior U.S. senator experienced was three angels standing at the foot of his bed.
“You want to come with us?” Kirk was asked.
“No,” he told them. “I’ll hold off.”
The Highland Park Republican, who plans to return to the Senate when Congress convenes Thursday, recounted the story in his first in-depth interview since he suffered a massive stroke nearly a year ago.

Let's see what Senator Kirk does with his extended life. That will say more about him than his encounter with angels or recuperation from a stroke. RB
