Man who 'died' and came back to life says you go to the 'peaceful spirit realm'

Kevin Hill said his experience made him 'refocus' his priorities

A man suffering with a critical illness described experiencing a ‘peaceful spirit realm’ after he was brought back from the dead.

Kevin Hill, from Derbyshire in the UK, first realized there was something wrong with his health in 2021 when his legs became swollen after retaining excess water.

He told doctors about his issues, but didn't have any luck getting to the bottom of it until he managed to get an appointment at the coronary unit in Derby.

Kevin found himself in real trouble after contracted the rare illness.

Within hours, he was sent to the hospital to begin what would become a 'year-long stint' in the facility.

"They gave me medicine to get rid of the water retention. After it all went, they told me I had lost 65kg of water weight," he said.

After a heart operation, Kevin contracted calciphylaxis - a rare and serious condition in which calcium accumulates in small blood vessels and fat and skin tissue.

Kevin's really serious issues started when dead skin – caused by blistering – started eating his live skin, leaving him in agony.

Eventually, he bled out and lost five pints of blood, causing his heart to stop.

There are all sorts of theories about what happens when we die, from seeing a blinding light to having your life flash before your eyes.

Doctors dubbed him the 'miracle man'.

For Kevin, his experience was peaceful, and he said he was well aware that he’d died.

He recalled: "I wasn't looking down at my body, but I was separate from my body.

"It was like I was in the spirit realm - I was conscious of what was going on but I had so much peace. I knew I was bleeding. I knew it was serious.

“The staff kept coming in and out to stop the bleeding."

Then, he found himself standing right beside his body, watching the medical staff rush around to save his life. In the end, doctors did manage to resuscitate him, at which point he was dubbed the ‘miracle man’.

Kevin continued: "I knew I had died. I was separate from my body. Then I just went to sleep and I woke up, alive and the bleeding had stopped.

"I knew it wasn't my time to die. The situation has made me refocus my priorities."

He's made an almost complete recovery.

After being released from hospital, Kevin found he was 'more resilient' because he knew he could 'bounce back.'

Thanks to the efforts of the health professionals, he made an almost full recovery and was able to move back home with his wife.

Speaking in 2023, Kevin said: “I am in the final stages of recovery. In my right leg, I still have some pain but it is not near the level it used to be. I would cry for hours.

"My pain level used to be 100 out of 10 and now it has dropped to a four.

"Everyone said I should be dead."
