A man who was clinically dead for 10 minutes after suffering a sudden heart attack has shared his incredible near-death experience, describing it as "life-changing".
Tony Yahle, 53, collapsed at home without warning as his heart stopped beating. Paramedics rushed him to hospital where doctors worked frantically to restart his heart.
"I literally died for 10 minutes," Yahle revealed. "The doctors told my family there was no hope - but then suddenly my heart started again on its own."
The Astonishing Afterlife Experience
What happened during those 10 minutes changed Yahle forever. "I found myself in this incredibly peaceful place," he described. "There was no pain, no fear - just overwhelming love and acceptance."
Yahle claims he saw deceased relatives who reassured him everything would be fine. "They told me it wasn't my time yet, that I had to go back."
The Medical Miracle
Doctors remain baffled by Yahle's recovery. "Medically, this shouldn't have happened," said Dr. James Smith, the cardiologist who treated him. "After 10 minutes without a heartbeat, we would expect severe brain damage at minimum."
Yet Yahle woke up with no lasting effects. "All my tests came back normal," he said. "The doctors can't explain it."
A New Lease on Life
Since his experience, Yahle says he's a changed man. "I don't sweat the small stuff anymore," he explained. "I appreciate every moment with my family."
He's now campaigning for better heart health awareness and has raised thousands for the NHS cardiology department that saved him. "I was given a second chance," Yahle said. "I'm not going to waste it."
