(Business Insider) There are lots of stories about people who are clinically dead and then brought back to life.

One man posted to Reddit with his experience.

When the 28-year-old man was 13, he says he had an asthma attack that nearly killed him.

He was clinically dead for three minutes then went into a coma for a week.

“Yes, I saw a light (I dunno if it was bright though). This wasn’t just your standard issue ‘oh I just looked directly in to my LED flashlight’ bright light.

I remember before I could formulate my “what is this” question instantly I was presented with the answer…..The initial shock of this quickly wore off which was followed by the most amazing bliss. I then woke up (or came back technically). I had been in a coma for a day and in intensive care for a week…
