There are five clinging aggregates. 
[Here](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/study/khandha.html#constructing_aggregates) it states that one's self clings to the five aggregates. To quote:

> "It's just as when a dog is tied by a leash to a post or stake: If it

It is clear that one clings to the five aggregates during his or her life time.
But after death the five aggregates dissolve. 

My question is : are the clinging aggregates the cause of clinging after death? (Just as one clings to his own existence after death and takes rebirth)
