I don't think we should discard the coma theory that easily, after all, it has been widely used the including of non-dead characters into an Afterlife thing, another example being the anime Shigofumi where [spoiler] the mail with the regrets of dead people (the shigofumi) was delivered by dead people themselves, and there was this only girl who kept aging despite being supposedly dead. It was later revealed that she was actually in a coma [end of spoiler].

Also,  I'll stay with the thing of Otonashi being the actual donor for Kanade. Come on people, this is kind of what gives the "HNGGG" factor to the whole series; and could also kind of explain how even if the possibility or meeting there was very low and what's more, Otonashi had no need to end up there given he had no regrets, they met bonded by this heart thing ♥
