The man, who revealed his name as Desmond H, said he had heard the voice of God himself.
Desmond said he encountered God after nearly dying at the age of 15.
He shared his story of the afterlife with the Near Death Research Foundation, NDERF, a group collecting case-studies of NDE.
Desmond told the research foundation that he went through a surgery-related clinical death in 2014 after a sudden asthma attack during an aortic valve replacement surgery.
He said, “Next, I found myself in a Dark Place that NDErs call ‘the void.’ I call it the ‘Dark Place.’
“My time in the Dark Place was without emotion or thoughts, yet I was sentient. There was nothing to see, feel, or know in The Dark Place.
“I did not experience any emotions during the experience. I lost my personality, memories, and emotions.
“All of a sudden, a very loud voice spoke to me out of nowhere. The male voice loudly and slowly said, ‘God.’”
He explained further that he was brought back to life before he could further see who spoke to him.
Desmond added, “I believe that the naturalistic worldview is as false as it is existentially pleasing.
“Our lives are not terribly long and everybody will see God once we are dead.”
