A woman in the US wrote an eerie note to her family saying she had been to heaven immediately after being brought back to life by paramedics.
Tina Hines collapsed due to a heart attack as she was heading out with her husband Brian in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and needed to be resuscitated an incredible six times.
The mum-of-four was dead for a total of 27 minutes as paramedics battled to save her.
Then after the sixth and final time she was brought back to life, Tina reportedly gestured for a pen and paper.

She then scribbled what looks to be gibberish, however family members believe it reads the words: "it's real".
When asked by her family what she meant, Tina gestured her head towards the sky - referring to heaven.
Tina told AZfamily.com after her miracle recovery: "It was so real - the colours were so vibrant."
Last week, Tina's niece Madie Johnson had a tattoo of the scribble inked on her arm.
Madie, of California, wrote on Instagram: "Her story is too real not to share and has given me a stronger confidence in a faith that so often goes unseen.
"It has given me a tangibleness to an eternal hope that is not too far away.
"I love you (Tina Hines)!
"The way you boldly love Jesus and others has changed the way I hope to live and love."
According to research almost one in five patients who suffer a cardiac arrest experience so-called "near death episodes".
Scientists say a burst of brain activity often follows a sudden heart attack, according to a small 2013 University of Michigan study on rats.
