New scientific finding reveal continued awareness after death

Findings from a four-year study by scientists at the University of Southampton (United Kingdom) on over 2,000 cardiac arrest patients have revealed that the mind may retain its awareness even after the heart stops beating and the body is clinically dead.

The research, which  spanned cases at 15 hospitals in the UK, U.S. and Austria revealed that nearly 40 per cent of those who survived described some kind of ‘awareness’ during the time when they were clinically dead before their hearts were restarted, with one man even recalling leaving his body entirely and watching his resuscitation from the corner of the room.

A total of 2,060 cardiac arrest patients were studied of which, 330 survived and 140 said that they had been partly aware at the time of resuscitating.
