Many of us do not give too much credence to the idea that our identity is based on matter organising itself in a particular fashion.
If we are consciousness utilising a succession of physical bodies then there is no reason why we should not be aware that our physical body has died.
Although having said that, reading all the after-death literature it seems as if some people, still finding themselves existing and seemingly unchanged, are in denial about having physically died. They are so convinced that death is the end that they can only conclude that are still physically alive.
One day we will find out for ourselves.
