Clinically Dead Man Travels to the Afterlife and Back With a Message From God (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Dean Braxton was a supervisor in the juvenile probation department in King County, Seattle. On May 5, 2006, a kidney stone led to an infection and sepsis, making him clinically dead for 1 hour and 45 minutes. He left his body and sped through the hospital, sky, and space to heaven. He entered a light like a window into a peaceful realm where trees, flowers, and everything welcomed him. He walked through a forest to meet Jesus, bowed at His feet, thanked Him for salvation, and felt deep love from every part of Him. Jesus said it was not his time and sent him back. Braxton explored heaven's joyful creation, saw his smiling family generations, but returned after Jesus commanded him. He re-entered his body as doctors revived him. After the NDE, Braxton views life eternally. He holds things loosely and grieves less. His wife saw changes in him.
