Nothing.
All you hear is nothing.
All you see is nothing.
Just... nothing.
Darkness surrounds you. Just as you expected, there is no tunnel of light, no deity to greet you, no afterlife awaiting your arrival.
Nothing at all.
In those 60 oxygen deprived seconds, your mind can do nothing but reveal the blackness behind your eyelids.
You heart beat returns, as does your breathing, and your rattled mind is free to do what it will as your taxed body refuses to gain consciousness.
And for awhile, all you see is nothing, though you can feel sharp pains coming from your right thigh and your left hand.
But then a familiar voice breaks through the fog, and a face is conjured up to match.
When you wake, that face is the first you see, that voice the first you hear.
You believe in no afterlife, and you have no reason to. This is it for you.
But here and now, you've got him.
And that is far better than nothing.
