Study Finds Evidence of Life after Death

Life can continue after death, according to the largest medical study ever conducted on the subject.

Over four years, British scientists studied more than 2,000 people from hospitals in different countries who had experienced cardiac arrest.

They found nearly 40 percent of the patients could recall events that happened for up to three minutes while they were clinically dead.

The London Telegraph reports one 57-year-old man described events in his room to resuscitate him in accurate detail, even describing the bleeps from a machine that sounds in three-minute intervals.

"He seemed very credible and everything that he said had happened to him had actually happened," the Telegraph quoted the State University of New York's Dr. Sam Parnier, who led the study,

The patients also recalled feelings ranging from peacefulness to being fearful.

"These experiences warrant further investigation," Dr. Parnier said.

Dr. Jerry Nolan, editor in chief of the journal Resuscitation, which published the study, also hopes it will lead to more research.

"Dr. Parnia and his colleagues 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," he said.
