On October 10, 2011, a lifelong alcoholic experienced catastrophic liver failure with internal bleeding, initially mistaking digested blood for diarrhea. His wife, an experienced nurse, recognized the emergency and rushed him to the hospital. After initial stabilization, he projectile vomited pure blood and his blood pressure dropped to 40/40. During the first of two code blues lasting approximately 45 seconds, he experienced being sent to hell - a cramped, uncomfortable realm filled with beings carrying dark clay boxes the size of old televisions, constantly bumping and grunting. Unable to distinguish faces or ethnicities, he screamed to God for forgiveness and proclaimed Jesus as the true living God. A light broke through, pulling him from hell back to earth.
Six hours later, while listed as "grave" condition in ICU after receiving 23 units of blood and having a balloon placed in his stomach to stop bleeding, his wife noticed him staring behind himself. He coded again, but this second death brought a glorious experience. A divine light, not bright but enveloping his soul, surrounded him as he slowly ascended with perfect peace. Continuously thanking and praising God during his elevation, the light became increasingly soothing and accepting rather than brighter. He felt the beautiful fulfillment of eternal bliss before suddenly returning to his body. The experiencer had an extensive criminal history including prison time for burglary and bank robbery, later becoming a successful executive before his alcoholism caused this crisis. His background included childhood alcoholism, violence, and decades of crime before meeting his wife and eventually reforming. The NDE completely transformed him - he became certain of God's forgiveness and the reality of both hell and heaven. Following recovery, he wrote about his experience to share that despite his poster-child-for-hell background, God's forgiveness through sincere belief saved him. He emphasizes that asking God sincerely for forgiveness and believing in Jesus brings salvation regardless of past sins. His soul was saved by faith and God's mercy, proving divine forgiveness extends even to those with the darkest histories.
