The most common similarity of NDE's is the feeling of peace, tranquility, spirituality, and oneness with all. This occurrence has been discovered to be associated with the release of endorphins as well as reactions between the right and left superior parietal lobe. The right portion of this area of the brain is known to be responsible for the sense of physical space and body awareness. The left portion of the parietal lobe is responsible for the awareness of the self. During an NDE neural activity in these areas shuts down. The result of this is an inability for the mind to have distinction between the self and non-self. However, other aspects of the brain are still functioning and thoughts are occurring. These other thoughts are believed to be associated with the visions perceived.
so what do you think?

I think perception does not equal reality, and to understand the natural world we would need empirical evidence.

Actually, it proves your subconcious wants to believe in an afterlife.
Your question might as well be "do you think a dream of heaven proves there is an afterlife?"

I think it's just how the brain shuts down, as tranquil as possible

It's not "afterlife" because one doesn't die in a NDE, they are just hallucinating a spiritual delusion because of low oxygen. The afterlife is after one resurrects.

All it proves is that people WISH there was a afterlife.
Also tl;dr
