Near death experiences are a little different. People that are able to recall their past lives and experiences certainly have a better argument for reincarnation.
Near death is unique in the sense that you're not really dead, but things can become grave if the body fails to stay alive.
My own experience relayed that there is something behind the scenes and that our physical bodies are part of an interwoven fabric in space/time. There are also near-death experiences that may not relay the whole story of at-death. Mine specifically revealed that there would be things forgotten from the experience, in other words, kept from the physical space/time realization. Space/time is a platform for the spirit to induce a physical reality, or so that's the picture I perceive. There's more to it that this minor surface scratch that I've shared, but then we can easily get lost in the plethora of interpretation from experience.
I certainly don't recall anything from any prior life. It's like the spirit is unique, connected, yet alone and separate.
