Man who died for three minutes ‘saw what hell is like’ and one thing surprised him

-

A man who died for three minutes claimed he “saw what hell is like” and took note of one surprising detail.

A friend of the unnamed man, speaking on his heart, says his heart flatlined and he was not expected to make it. He had overdosed on drugs and was pronounced clinically dead in an ambulance on the way to hospital. But the unnamed man managed to make a full recovery, much to the surprise of medical professionals who pronounced him dead.

Taking to Reddit, the friend said: “He remembers the stroke, and being wheeled to the ambulance on a stretcher. Then he felt like he was floating under ice cold water, and it was dark, but he wasn’t really thinking or feeling anything emotionally, just existing and knowing it was very, very cold and he couldn’t see.

“Then he woke up, and the EMTs were kind of freaked out because his heart had stopped long enough that they figured he was done.”

While recovering in hospital, the man said he saw vivid images of Hell, and says it was extremely cold rather than extraordinarily hot, as it is so often depicted in fictional adaptations.

The friend added: “At some point in the following days he became convinced that what he experienced was hell minus the knowledge of suffering, like a toned-down preview, and thought it was a warning for him to change his life. Sadly he didn’t stay clean for long.”

Commenting on his post, one user said: “Wow! This reminded me of a dream of my mum’s. She told me about while I was a kid. She said she woke up, engulfed in a room of flames and people screaming.

“Then she blinked and it was gone. She was convinced that was a sign she was going to hell. She’s cleaned up since then and is a really good person.”

Responding to this, another user added: “That actually is supposed to be what Hell is like. You’re alone in the dark, aware of being alone in the dark, for eternity. No fire, no demons torturing you. Just – eternal darkness and the awareness that you’re alone.”

A third user said: “Working in a hospital and taking care of people who have been legally dead and have come back either on their own accord or with CPR, I’ve heard these people say that they felt like they were falling.

“They also wake up really confused not remembering the situation. To me it seems like what they experience is close to a dream that you’re falling and wake up with a jolt.”
