Brian Miller, a man from Ohio, was 41 years old when he experienced severe pressure in the chest after trying to open a container lid. He was aware he would suffer a heart attack and called the ambulance mere seconds before the heart attack took place.

Once at the hospital, doctors managed to clear his artery blockage and he was able to regain consciousness. Unfortunately, he then developed ventricular fibrillation, a condition where the heart doesn’t pump blood to the rest of the body.

What happened next was described by one of the nurses at the ICU, Emily Bishop, who said, “he had no heart rate, he had no blood pressure, he had no pulse.” The strong and fast CPR didn’t help, and neither did the electric shocks doctors performed on his four times.

Brian was pronounced dead. And then, some 45 minutes later, to the disbelief of everyone, he got back to life.

Speaking of his out of this world experience, Brian said it was “edenic” bliss in a celestial world. “The only thing I remember I started seeing the light, and started walking toward the light,” he was reported to have said.

As he walked down the path covered in flowers, he saw his late step-mother who took him by his hands and said: “It’s not your time, you don’t need to be here, we have got to take you back you have got things to go and do.”

It still remains a mystery how he came back to life after his brain was left without oxygen for so long.
