I'm not trying to criticize OP

But I have seen this posted over and over again, and I really don't understand why it is capturing people's attention.

Another commenter here pointed out that it's mystical pseudoscience, and it has no relevancy to anything. (Ed: Unless you want to fund future research and how to create undead soldiers /s)

There's really no mystery to what happens when a human dies or any other creature for that matter, various electrical impulses continue in various ways, then the creature dies.
