How do I know? Because it is self-evident. Contrast, the yin and yang, is one of the few truly self-evident things in this world. Can you have a mountain without a valley? Can you have a crest without a trough, or half a breath? If I painted a white figure on a white background, would you see it?
Beyond that, death is many things more than the permanent cessation of bodily processes. It is a conception, a linguistic/cultural idea which is by its nature placed in contrast to the state of being alive.
Statistically speaking, it is basically impossible that we are the only planet with life, and if you look into physics, the concept of this universe being the only universe or reality seems extremely far-fetched. Physically speaking, it's not only possible but probable that this is one of essentially infinite universes, and there's always the chance that this universe's death will result in the birth of another (the big bounce) if gravity overcomes the other forces in the end. Even if it didn't, we now know that universes come into existence. There's nothing stopping another universe from coming into being. With this as a context, death is really a very petty thing, the cessation of one instance of a running pattern which comprises a species.
Death is not even the end of your body. Your atoms will be recycled by other forms of life and by natural processes (assuming you are buried and rot) until eventually, with time, your atoms will be again scattered throughout the universe, as they were when they were created from fusion in the hearts of stars themselves. Death as a concept is absolutely dependent upon the ego which faces it. In reality, there is no atom in your body which can be said to be alive or dead, no protein which is living or has thoughts. It is as an aggregate that these things arise, so life and death are manifestations and not roots. All these processes are contextual; get rid of the context and you get rid of the problem. Simply scrapping this life and starting over is no solution.

>Why do people meditate? because they want to not be of this world
I believe you may be new to meditation, or else your meditation is quite different from mine. It is not to escape this world, quite the opposite; it is to let go of that which separates our experience from the experience of the core of reality. It is, in fact, to remember that even this separation is illusory, a wild and bizarre playing out of things that masquerades as suffering and pain. If you should wish to take the leap into death, know that there is no cosmic punishment for suicide, nor is it some grand failure, but neither is it a victory, triumph, or relief. As with all things, it is a change.
