People who have died and came back, what was your experience?

Technically it is possible if the reason for cardiac arrest was hypothermia. The longest documented time between cardiac arrest and resuscitation is almost 7 hours. That's where the old adage "No one is dead until they are warm and dead." comes from.

“Most survivors had a favourable neurological outcome.” Fascinating. I suppose I stand corrected on many points here. Thanks for the link!

For the record, I still roundly call bullshit on OP’s claim here :) Feels like dying in a snow drift or something would be a detail they’d include.

I didn't want to include the cause of death because it seems even more outlandish and unbelievable than the duration of death, and the cause of death essentially deanonymizes my account. But I guess this username is already toasted from being used too much so I added evidence to my op.

Dude. I stand corrected and I apologize. I am generally incredulous on the internet as a rule, and I figure my defenses were particularly high given the sort of woo-woo shit that comes with a post like this.

Sorry. If it counts for anything I learned a metric fuckton from this exchange.

No worries bro. I got way more upset than I needed to. We're good, my friend.

I really should start lying and say I saw the matrix or something. Give the woo-woos an aneurysm.

It's also possible if you get cpr the entire time like we did.
