I Died for 24 Hours, Witnessed the Truth of Wormholes and the Universe in a Mind-Blowing NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Jay Martin, a Coca-Cola worker and father from Columbus, Ohio, suffered a near-death experience on August 18, 2016. A blood clot from his lungs caused a widowmaker heart attack. He drove himself to the hospital, collapsed in the emergency room, and went into cardiac arrest. Doctors revived him twice, inserted a stent, and transferred him to Riverside Hospital. He was declared dead, but a faint heartbeat returned the next day. They placed him in a medically induced coma with an ECMO machine; he later developed 26 strokes. During the NDE, Jay floated along a highway near the hospital and entered an amber tunnel with non-malicious hands reaching out. He emerged into space without a body, feeling connected to everything. He saw a planet with circulating energy like a tree and a swirl of stars resembling the Andromeda galaxy. He heard his name called from blackness and felt pulled back. After waking, Jay felt profound peace and proposed to his girlfriend, who became his wife. He relearned to walk, write, and use cognitive skills amid vertigo, drop foot, nerve damage, and insomnia. He lost his job and home but focuses on family. He now experiences premonitions of tragedies during meditation, promoting optimism and love to counter negativity.
“always talk about peace and love and I always see and hope for the goodness in”
Despite a severe medical crisis involving cardiac arrest, clinical death, and multiple strokes, the NDE contains no specific veridical perceptions of medical events or impossible-to-access information. Vague mentions of floating near the hospital and seeing a local landmark lack detail, verification, or impossibility of access, while cosmic visions are unverifiable.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Was this Evidence Strength score useful?
Was this Experience Depth score useful?
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
Was this Life Impact score useful?
Are you here because someone you love has died?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
