The Story
Derek Riddle, a man in his 40s, had a near-death experience in October 2020 due to a ruptured spleen from complications after weight loss surgery. The rupture happened during a plane flight, causing internal bleeding and sepsis, leading to emergency surgery where doctors removed his spleen and treated organ shutdown. During the NDE, Derek saw a vast crowd of souls in a hot, steamy place, with negative energy in the back for bad people waiting 900 years to reincarnate. The crowd formed lines back to life as a test requiring perfect goodness, with no loopholes. A divine council asked if he believed in God; he faced a light and viewed two life review moments: crying over starving children as a kid and giving away all Halloween candy as a preteen. He passed through the crowd, saw known people in line, viewed his best friend's future funeral, then met deceased friends Sharon and Barbara in a void. They pointed to his son Cody playing in a heavenly playground. He stepped toward Cody but felt a tether and chose to return for his living family. After the NDE, Derek warned his friend to change, leading to positive life improvements. He embraced a belief in a higher power and purpose to help others through kindness. He became more empathic, cut negative influences, achieved three years of sobriety, and now celebrates his son's birthday with joy and peace.
The account describes a severe medical crisis with organ failure and critical ICU care, providing strong context for impaired brain function. However, there are no claims of veridical perceptions of physical events, medical procedures, or conversations during unconsciousness; all experiences occur in visionary spiritual realms with internal life review and apparitions of known deceased individuals. A predictive vision of a friend's funeral prompted a warning and life change, offering moderate specificity and timeliness but lacking external verification of details.
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.
