Policeman Dies For 45 Minutes; Shown Afterlife And The Truth About Trust & Betrayal (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Robert Bear was a retired California Highway Patrol officer and held other powerful positions like university professor and city manager. He suffered a massive heart attack on March 22, 2009, while boarding a plane in Phoenix, Arizona, after visiting his son. During the first NDE, he entered a warm light with unearthly colors and felt someone with him. He faced a higher power that asked what good he had done in life. He then experienced a full life review from conception to death, reliving family moments, childhood lessons like stealing baseball cards, joyful loves, and painful betrayals. He saw his deceased dog Scooter happily waiting. He returned to his body after 45 minutes. In the second NDE, lasting 10 minutes, he hovered above his body, saw the flatline monitor, and watched staff search his wallet for identification. After revival, Robert reconciled with his ex-wife despite past betrayals seen in the review. He now lives each day as his last, grateful for 4,999 extra days, and shares his story through spiritualawakeningsinternational.org.
