US Airforce Veteran's Near-Death Experience Revealed Chase DeMayo
What Researchers Found
The Story
Chase Skyler Deo was an Air Force SERE instructor who injured both knees in a training accident. The surgery failed, leading to a medical discharge process. One morning, he was found unconscious in his dorm and taken to the hospital. Tests showed nothing wrong until an air embolism from his IV caused him to flatline during preparation for a chest x-ray. He heard a calm voice reassuring him as pain traveled up his arm. He saw the monitor flatline and left his body in a blissful light, moving upwards. He arrived in a vibrant garden with unseen flowers and colors. He watched his younger self play happily with Jesus, who had short brown hair and green eyes. Jesus reminded him to spread light, love, and laughter and not take life too seriously. After a timeless, friendly talk, Jesus said he must return, and Chase agreed. He woke up in an off-base hospital with no pain. Chase became more intuitive, feeling others' emotions and wanting to help heal them. He now embraces joy and laughter as medicine. He pursues degrees in alternative medicine and ministry to learn continually and make the world better.
