Loftia, a mother of five children, experienced cardiac arrest while under anesthesia at a hospital in Yafran, Libya, where Dr. Fonzo served as director and anesthetist. After successful resuscitation, Loftia reported a remarkable near-death experience. From an elevated perspective above her body, she observed a narrow passage with pillars that were painted white and blue on their tops. Dr. Fonzo later explained these were oxygen and nitrous oxide gas bottles stored in a narrow space between walls, with white tops for oxygen and blue for nitrous oxide - details not visible to patients under normal circumstances. During her experience, Loftia encountered her deceased mother, Fatma, who told her she must return because her five children needed her, especially mentioning her two-year-old daughter Nezahet by name. The return to life was experienced negatively by Loftia, who felt reluctant to leave the peaceful state she had experienced.
