MMA Fighter Died From Chest Tumor; Saw The Other Side And Overcame 11% Chance Of Survival (NDE)

The Story
Sean White from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, experienced a near-death event in 2020 due to a large teratoma tumor in his chest that caused severe pain and cardiac arrest during transport to a hospital. The tumor, the size of a Nerf football, led to emergency surgery and him coding while on a helicopter. During the NDE, Sean left his body and saw it on the floor as hands held him in the air. He watched nurses perform CPR and felt deep peace, thinking he was going to heaven. He then thought of his family and friends who needed him. The hands stopped, and a bright gold light surrounded him as thousands of other hands comforted him. He returned to his body. After the NDE, Sean survived four surgeries, including removal of the tumor and half his lung. He regained strength, returned to mixed martial arts fighting to inspire others, and strengthened his faith. He shares his story to help people with depression, anxiety, and doubts about the afterlife.
