The person was drowning in a river while trying to save a friend. After helping her to safety, he lost his grip and sank underwater. He then experienced a near-death experience where he felt he was in hell. In hell, he reflected on his life and felt fear and regret for his past actions. He begged for a second chance. Suddenly, he woke up on the riverbank, coughing up water. He saw the beauty of nature around him and felt grateful to be alive. After this experience, he developed a relationship with God and felt a strong desire to warn others about the existence of hell.
