Consciousness outside the body does not in any way mean consciousness exists after death necessarily??

As long as we are hypothesizing, your premise is based on an idea the brain is a transmitter. What if the brain is a receiver and your consciousness is the signal your brain receives. This would suggest the body is not needed at all for your consciousness to exist much like your car's GPS is not needed for orbiting satellites to transmit positional signals
