Reddit article- People who died for a few minutes and came back, what was it like?

 

A person replied...

A friend of mine had a overdose caused a stroke and legally died for a little under three minutes in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. 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. He told that he was looking around and just acknowledged his surroundings, by the

time his brain processed where he realised he was drowning. He looked down it was pitch black, looked up, and swam for his life, it felt like he was running out of oxygen, just as he hit the top, he woke up, and the EMTS were kinda freaked out because his heart had stopped long enough that they figured he was done.

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.
