Off The Record
Man Declared Dead For 45 Minutes Describes Watching His Own Death From Above
The ‘afterlife’ that a man who was resuscitated after being dead for up to forty-five minutes described.
Vincent Tolman, a former bodybuilder, says he saw heaven more than 20 years ago when he went into a coma after ingesting vitamins he and a friend had bought online.
On January 18, 2003, he lost consciousness and then entered a strange experience in which he could see himself laying on the ground.
“So they think I was dead for at least 30 to 45 minutes before they found me, but I was cold, like cold to the touch,” Tolman recalled the terrifying yet impactful near-death experience.
“Back in the day, I was an amateur bodybuilder, I was taking a fairly new supplement. Turns out, the supplement was toxic, and I ended up aspirating in a public bathroom.”
“So I had passed out and started to vomit, and I aspirate on that vomit and and I ended up dying right there on the bathroom floor.”
Tolman abruptly described how he was taken to a “very comfortable movie chair” and how he was sitting in what he thought was a theatre, watching his death play out.
He continued, “The movie was the scene of this body on the ground, and I was looking at everything from above. But what’s weird is it didn’t feel like it was me at all – even though I was sitting there looking at my own dead body, I couldn’t recognize it.”
“It would almost be like going to a movie, like a real movie, and seeing someone dressed like you and looking like you on the movie, but you’re like, that’s not me, because he’s over here watching the movie – that’s what it felt like.”
“So I had no idea that what I was watching was my own death.”
He was so detached that he questioned the “director’s” choices on what should be in the “movie,” pointing out that he had experience in both cinema and television and questioning why the production featured the opinions of everyone in the restaurant, including the cook.
He found this telepathic knowledge to be excessive, odd, and unintentional, which added to the experience’s surreal, cinematic feel.
Then, Tolman says he heard one of the paramedics in the back of the ambulance thinking to himself as he watched the medics bag his body.
“And as he was doing that, I actually saw light, a real light, start glowing from inside this rookie medic,” he said.
“And it felt as if like someone put a light bulb inside his shirt, like light was actually coming out from his heart space and out of nowhere, this really strong voice says, this one’s not dead.”
This overwhelming feeling spurred the medic to defy protocol, open the body bag, and start looking for signs of life. He sensed a spark close to the Tolman’s inner thigh, but he couldn’t find a pulse—just enough to warrant trying resuscitation.
Tolman started to feel the straps being fastened to his arms as the body was taken to the hospital. He was still in this weird observer mindset, and the feeling of physical restraint bewildered him.
According to Tolman, that’s when he realised his body was in the “movie.”
