Your questions are right however you are assuming there is some state of conciousness there isn't it is the state of content of consciousness when all objects are removed from it than what is experienced is what you are calling loss of consciousness but that is not how spiritual text describe it or people who claim to be enlightened describe it unfortunately science has not progressed enough to solve "hard problem of conciousness" but the good news is you can still verify this claim experientially yourself and decide if its true or false for you.
