Man who died and came back to life reveals what it was like in the ‘afterlife’

A man who claims to have died and came back to life says he briefly visited the afterlife.

Dozens of people across the globe say they've seen the afterlife after almost dying, and it seems as if everyone has a different experience of 'the other side'.

For example, UK resident Kevin Hill fell seriously ill in 2021 after contracting calciphylaxis. At one stage he was so sick that lost five pints of blood, which caused his heart to stop.

During this time, he claims to have become 'separate from [his] body' and was in some kind of 'spirit realm'.

Meanwhile David Hanzel had a rather different experience when he briefly died in 2015.

At the time, Hanzel had developed a lung infection and sepsis. Surgery confirmed that 70 percent of his lung was covered in the infection and he ultimately ended up on his 'deathbed'.

He 'flatlined' and ended up falling into a coma, which he remained in for two months.

During this period, Hanzel was supposedly greeted with 'a beautiful afterlife'.

"I just remember closing my eyes because I was sick. And then when I opened my eyes back up, I was in this night sky," he explained to the Daily Star.

"It was the most beautiful, velvety, silky night sky. No clouds. No stars. No nothing. And there wasn't a beginning or end to it."

Hanzel, who says he's a psychic, went on to say that he was then greeted by two 'beings'.

"All of a sudden one being was on my left and one on my right. They just felt comfortable. Like I knew them," the North Carolina resident recalled.

"They showed me that it was the most beautiful, golden-white light. It was so pretty and there were all these angels and everything going up into it."

But it wasn't white pearly gates they took him to, but a bar. It had 'beautiful coloured bottles on the side' and no booze or other beverages.

After stopping off at the alcohol-free bar, Hanzel was told to walk up the side of a 'big white building'.

He continued: "When you stepped, you didn't feel like your foot touched the ground. Like there's no gravity. It's kind of like you're floating and walking."

When Hanzel eventually came round again, he claims that he was in full health once more.

He also 'came back with total forgiveness' for anyone who had ever done something bad to him.
