Largest ever Study Provides Evidence Of Life After Death

According to the largest ever "medical study" carried out on life after death, there is scientific evidence suggesting that life can continue after death.

A team based in the UK spent the last four years seeking out cardiac arrest patients to analyze their experiences, and found out that almost 40% of survivors described having some form of “awareness” at a time when they were declared clinically dead, the World News Daily Report* said.

Experts currently believe that the brain stops working within 20 to 30 seconds after the heart stops, and it is not possible to be aware of anything at all once that has happened.

However, scientists in the new study said they heard compelling evidence that patients experienced real events for up to three minutes after this had happened and could recall them accurately once they had been resuscitated.

Dr Sam Parnia, an assistant professor at the State University of New York said he previously thought that patients who described near-death experiences were only relating hallucinatory events.

However, one man gave a very credible account of what was going on while doctors and nurses tried to bring him back to life. The man says he felt he was observing his resuscitation from the corner of the room.

“We know the brain can’t function when the heart has stopped beating, but in this case, conscious awareness appears to have continued for up to three minutes," Dr Parnia said.

“The man described everything that had happened in the room. He heard two bleeps from a machine that makes a noise at three minute intervals. So we could time how long the experience lasted for. Everything that he said had happened to him had actually happened.”

Dr Parnia’s study involved 2,060 patients from 15 hospitals in the UK, US and Austria, and has been published in the journal Resuscitation.

“The researchers are to be congratulated on the completion of a fascinating study that will open the door to more extensive research into what happens when we die,” said Dr Jerry Nolan, editor-in-chief of the journal which published the research.
