Prove to me I can die.

Under assumption of the many worlds theory that is gaining traction very quickly in the world of research of quantum mechanics, is quite possible, likely even, that I can't die. There are an infinite number of choices you make every day, causing an infinite number of universes to branch off for every choice. I can only exist in the universes I am not dead in, for every choice I make which results in my death, I am eliminated in, yet I live on in the universes which I have not died in. If I make a decision which will likely result in my death, I will die in one or even some of the branches, but naturally I will live on in the other, my consciousness living on in that branch.
I can think of three times in my life I almost died, almost fell off a shear drop off a mountainside in Colorado, but my brother caught me before I fell. I was in a car crash with my mother being the driver, I broke my collar bone but was otherwise alright, and healed quickly. And third I was in another car accident, except I was on a bike.
Can I die? Sure I might die in reference to you, but my consciousness will live on and I won't know.

So what happens when you eventually die of old age? You eternally live in the moment where you die? The universe where you don't die would only have another few seconds of life

There's also the universe where you attain immortality and experience an eternity of loneliness.

under this theory, you experience consciousness until the point where you live the longest out of all realities
so the timeline you are in right now is where you live the longest and die of old age at the latest possible time

Why would I?

I might die in reference to you, but I will live forever.

Plus, isn't there research going into the possibility that our consciousness can be transmitted on a quantum level? Doesn't that leave room for the possibility that when we die we get sort-of uploaded to a new reality?

Perhaps that's the true heaven or hell
