When you die
you know you're dead because the brain keeps functioning and you know what's
happening around you, chilling new research suggsts. Medical experts have long
debated what happens when a person dies, with anecdotal evidence of bright
lights or sensations, and films such as Flatliners exploring the unknown. But a
study suggests a person's consciousness keeps working after their heart stops
beating and their body movements fail,
It means
they are essentially 'trapped' inside their dead body with the brain still
functioning if only for a short time. Cardiac arrest survivors were aware of
what was going on around them while they were 'dead' before being 'brought back
to life', the study revealed.
Even more
shockingly, there is some evidence to suggest that the deceased may even hear
themselves being pronounced dead by doctors.
Dr Sam
Parnia is studying consciousness after death and examining cardiac arrest cases
in Europe and the US. He said anecdotal evidence has found that people in the
first phase of death may still experience some form of consciousness.
The expert
told LiveScience that people who have survived cardiac arrest later accurately
described what was happening around them after their hearts stopped beating.
