So it's a final last resort when death is around the corner? It's interesting that the body would release a chemical that produces a state of euphoria during the last seconds of life.
That is a very good point Ceri JC. My only question is regarding the approximate time of dmt release.
Does your theory work for other death experiences besides drowning?

endorphins are released when substantial damage to the body has been sustained (along with other cytokines). Those help preserve life by allowing fight or flight responses to persist despite painful life threatening injuries.
Last minute dmt release seconds before death seems to serve less of a purpose. By the time dmt is released, most people should be beyond quick and reflexive recovery from death.
Dmt doesn't serve the same function as (nor)epinepherine (adrenalin). Like Ceri JC said, it may prevent further self-injury by eliminating struggle, but it's difficult to determine.
