The Near Death Experience of Karl Gurtner

Carl Gartner had a near-death experience in 2006. He felt cold for two months after a trip to Italy. Doctors thought it was a cold, but he collapsed at home in Switzerland. His wife called an ambulance, and he was taken to a hospital in Bergdorf. He was clinically dead for 10 days due to undiagnosed diabetes. During this time, Carl entered a bright white temple with columns. He saw thousands of people in white clothes who were happy and singing like at a festival. He met his deceased relatives, including his mother, father, grandfather, and others. They asked him what he was doing there, and he replied he did not know. The relatives looked the same as when they died. Then two bright apparitions like young women in white approached him. They were like angels with long white hair. They took him to a room with four horses: two black and two white. He chose the white horses. He rode a white horse upwards while holding its mane with the angels. Carl woke up in the ICU after 10 days. A nurse from East Germany cared for him and saved his life from unnecessary surgery. He learned he had diabetes, a family condition. After the NDE, Carl lost his fear of death. He described the experience as a beautiful paradise.
