Died 4 times and saw Heaven and Hell: Jodie's Testimony
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jodie Oidio, a 29-year-old nursing student and mother of four, suffered an amniotic fluid embolism during preterm labor with her fifth child on September 3, 2018, in Harlingen, Texas. This caused massive blood loss, cardiopulmonary collapse, and multiple cardiac arrests. During her first NDE, she saw three tall angels in white robes battle the angel of death and dark angels with swords; a thunderous voice from God declared her as His child, sending the dark forces away. In her second NDE, angel Gabriel in golden skin and white scrubs showed her hell's black cobweb gates, a Venom-like demon, fiery pits with screams and smells of sulfur and melting flesh; he assigned her to share that heaven and hell are real to restore faith. In her third NDE, Jesus in a white robe and gold sash told her to remarry her husband, write a book, and promised her family would never lack. After waking from a medically induced coma following 45 minutes of resuscitation and three hospital codings, plus one at home, Jodie fully recovered despite being brain dead. She remarried her husband, deepened her faith, sees angels and spirits, stopped watching scary shows, and shares her testimony worldwide while writing her book.
“then I felt guilty like I felt like I stopped doing that and I went back to”
This account describes intense spiritual visions of angels, hell, and Jesus during repeated clinical deaths from amniotic fluid embolism, but lacks any veridical perceptions of real-world physical details or events that were impossible to know through normal senses. High medical severity is offset by absence of specific, verified, unpredictable claims about the material environment.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
