In my delirium, I saw a and heard the "test pattern" that they used to play at the end of the television broadcast day... nothing more will ever happen. I am dead.
I didn't actually see this picture. What I actually saw was a very bright circle with a small black dot at the center. And I heard the buzz. Its interpretation as the end of broadcasting was immediate.
The statement "I am dead" is self-contradictory, since it uses the verb "to be" which obviously you are not if you are dead. This is an example of the difficulty in conceiving one's own death.
