We dont know exactly, but the current working theory is that the brain pulses extremely strongly when dying, which produces extremely vivid images, including the famous "light at the end of a tunnel".

I've read that, as the brain shuts down, it is flooded with a chemical called DMT, which creates a euphoric and other-worldly feeling.

Something I heard is that peripheral visions dies quicker than central vision for the tunnel aspect. I should probably verify it though
