Near-death accounts

In the past, researchers have used accounts of near-death experiences to answer what awaits us when we die. The subjective experiences had common themes. A bright light, out-of-body experiences, and encounters with deceased loved ones.

However, researchers recently stumbled upon the account of an 87-year-old patient that suffered a fatal heart attack while undergoing brain scans. This recording can shed light on what's happening in our brain just before death.
