Have scientists proved there is life after death? Research into 'near-death' experiences reveals awareness may continue even after the brain has shut down
- Scientists conducted study of those who suffered cardiac arrests
- Nearly 40% of those who survived described 'awareness' during time when they were clinically dead before their hearts were restarted
- One man recalled leaving his body and watching his own resuscitation
Consciousness may continue even after death, scientists now believe.
Research into 'near-death' experiences has revealed that awareness and the mind may continue to exist after the brain has ceased to function and the body is clinically dead.
Scientists at the University of Southampton conducted a four-year study of more than 2,000 patients who had suffered cardiac arrests.
The research spanned cases at 15 hospitals in the UK, U.S. and Austria.
The findings revealed nearly 40 per cent of those who survived described some kind of 'awareness' during the time when they were clinically dead before their hearts were restarted.
