I do get your point about the poor journalism though.

Certainly a possibility, albeit unlikely considering there is so far nothing hinting at such a possibility within the realms of observation. The problem is akin to suggesting when a computer dies, the software floats away into a new existence. The brain is our hardware, our consciousness is the software and once one goes so does the other, the faint electrical impulses fade after death and cease, no activity is found and how would anything exist beyond that without a supernatural cause?
