If you want evidence that people actually die, you will need a video recording of every single person dying.
Unless you're able to provide that, you might witness yourself up to the moment of death, or maybe have actually witnessed another individual person dying, but you certainly won't be able to see every person dying with your own eyes.
Therefore, I find the idea that everyone actually dies to be skeptical, and for all you know, people, or at least some people, may not actually die.
Yet another example that theists don't know how evidence works.
- I have evidence that some people die. Look! A corpse! Evidence!
- I do not have any evidence that everybody dies. That would involve killing all of you, and there are international bodies that would get tetchy about that.
- But since we know what the mechanisms that produce death are.
- And that those mechanisms appear to be common to all living creatures.
- And we have no evidence that anybody has ever managed to not die, other than in the most mundane circumstances.
- So it's pretty reasonable to believe that everybody dies.
- Unless you have evidence to the contrary.
- Please try to remember that your claim of people not dying would be considered extraordinary by most standards.
- As such, it will require extraordinary evidence
- Not:
- An argument. Arguments are not evidence.
- Some dull scripture, indistinguishable from the ramblings of any other Bronze Age barbarians.
- Unsupported claims of miracles that we can't verify because... [Reasons]
- Tall tales.
There you go. Have fun.

To prove you were born we'd need a video of your Mom's vagina during the birth process.
He was born?
There goes my spore theory.
