I would act as though he were wrong, for anthropic reasons. In other words, six months later (or 70 years later) I will certainly not wake up one day and notice that I am dead, since this can never happen to anyone.
Would this brand of anthropics imply that you never actually die in experiential terms? Given processes of bodily degradation, etc; this brand of immortality might be equivalent to a personal hell were it to exist.
