This is like something pulled straight from a twisted horror novel...
A new scientific discovery has revealed that when we die, we're actually aware we're dead.
Yep, that's right...We know when we're no longer alive.
Dr. Sam Parnia and her colleagues from New York University Langone School of Medicine came to the conclusion after examining studies in Europe and the US on people who have suffered a cardiac arrest and “come back to life.”
“They’ll describe watching doctors and nurses working and they’ll describe having awareness of full conversations, of visual things that were going on, that would otherwise not be known to them,” Dr Parnia told Live Science.
Absolutely terrifying stuff...
It's actually not the first time this kind of study has been conducted.
In March, doctors at a Canadian intensive care unit discovered that one person had persistent brain activity for up to Ten-minutes after they turned off their life support machine.
Ten-minutes! They also found that the experience of dying varied from patient to patient.
Well, don't know about you, but I'm fairly happy living in ignorant bliss when it comes to this sort of thing!
