A trucker in Ohio shocked hospital staff after coming back
to
life nearly an hour after he lost his pulse following a massive heart attack
— but it’s what he claims to have seen during those tense moments that has him
sure there’s an afterlife.

Brian Miller, 41, was opening the lid of a container when he
knew something felt wrong — he immediately called 911 and told the
operator, “I’m a truck driver and I think I’m having a heart attack.”
Sure enough, his main artery was completely blocked —
causing what’s known as a “widow-maker” heart attack, Fox
8 Cleveland reported.
He was rushed to a local hospital where doctors managed to
revive him and clear the blockage, but after regaining consciousness and
feeling the pain dissipate, he developed ventricular fibrillation, when the
heart starts quivering wildly and is unable to pump blood.
“He had no heart rate, he had no blood pressure, he had no
pulse,” said ICU nurse Emily Bishop. “I mean think about that.”

Doctor’s performed “strong, hard, fast CPR” and shocked
Miller four times to try to revive him, but had no luck.
It was during that time that Miller said he slipped away
into a celestial world, “The only thing I remember I started seeing the light,
and started walking toward the light.”
He described walking down a flower-lined path into white
light — until he came upon his step mother, who had died recently, “She was the
most beautiful thing when I seen her, it was like the first day I met her,
(she) looked so happy.”
Miller remembered, “She grabbed ahold of my arm and told me,
‘It’s not your time, you don’t need to be here, we’ve got to take you back
you’ve got things to go and do.’”
After 45 minutes his pulse returned “out of nowhere,” Bishop
said. “His brain had no oxygen for 45
minutes, the fact that he’s up walking, talking, laughing, everything is
amazing.”
Glad to be back amongst the living, Miller now says there is
one thing he is sure of, “There is an afterlife and people need to believe in
it, big time.”
