Woman Dead For 24 Minutes Reveals Chilling Details Of What She Experienced
A woman who passed away for twenty-four minutes described her experience.
Many people have described how they have died and resurrected, frequently with the aid of contemporary technology.
According to Statista, the average age of a person worldwide was in their early to mid-30s, whereas a century ago, the most common causes of death were influenza, TB, and pneumonia.
Since then, the average age has risen to 72 years old worldwide, which one woman nearly missed after passing away for 24 minutes.
That individual is Lauren Canaday, who shared details of her near-death experience on Reddit a few years ago and welcomed any questions.
“I went into sudden cardiac arrest at home this past February,” Lauren penned. “My husband called 911 and started CPR. It took 24 minutes for EMTs to resuscitate me. After 9 days in the ICU, I was declared ‘cognitively intact’ and have no visible brain damage on MRIs.”
“I also have a normal EEG despite a history of seizures and status epilepticus for over 30 minutes right after resuscitation,” she stated.
She was then asked by one curious person if she remembered anything from her twenty-four-hour period of being “dead.”
“I was in a coma for 2 days and when I woke up I was very confused about being intubated and didn’t have any short term memory for several more days,” Lauren went on to reply.
“I never regained memory of the week prior or most of the time in ICU and am foggy on about a month prior. I remember only a feeling of extreme peace that I honestly seriously miss!”
When she woke up, this calm sensation apparently lingered for a few weeks.

Lauren went on to say that she kept forgetting why she was in the hospital.
Lauren responded, “100%,” when someone asked if she had to “grapple with any guilt or confusion about surviving.”
She penned, “Yep. 100%. So much guilt/confusion. And grief to deal with all the consequences. Ugh. My emotional state was exceptionally poor for a while. I would not have gotten through it without my husband’s support.”
After her near-death experience, Lauren explained, she had to take a sabbatical from her job and was attending support groups and weekly therapy at the time of writing.
She added, “It helps to meet people through the newsletter I started. That helps me process things. I email a lot with my subscribers.”
