When the mind is attached to the mundane, to the worldly stuff of daily life at the break down of the body there will be mental suffering.
Somebody who has not trained her/himself in the doctrine of relinquishment the event of dying or the idea of it will bring outstanding mental suffering.
Also the event of the separation of the compounded elements of the body, the dissolution of its supports and events of this sort that are unavoidable will happen but with a mind at ease with them, if this mind has practiced Gotama's doctrine.
Maybe, there is the temptation to bring into this sutta the idea of a continuum of consiousness, but I don't have that reading from it.
Anyway...
