A WOMAN scrawled an eerie message that appears to read “it’s real” after she died for 27 minutes – and claims to have seen heaven. Tina Hines collapsed as she was heading out with her husband Brian in Phoenix, Arizona, and needed to be resuscitated six times.

All I gather from this is that when you starve the brain for oxygen, it invents pleasure.
Isn't there an entire sexual thing around that, where people choke themselves to get off?
Not everybody experiences the same thing though. It seems that only some people have this experience and it usually coincides with their current belief system. Muslims experience islamic imagery, christians experience christian imagery, some people experience non religious imagery.

oh joy another atheist in a religious thread. As a non believer and won't label myself atheist I find NDEs very interesting since people share the same experience when their heart stops.
Also why don't induced coma patients who had serious trauma and on drugs and ventilation have the same experience? You seem to have all the answers.
She later claimed she saw the figure of Jesus standing in front of the pearly gates with a bright light behind him.
You mean the goat herders?

What appalls me is that all of the ancient "mystery" teachings explain all of this in great detail, yet many people refuse to study it. Pure ignorance. Willingfull ignorance.
Comment directed at the naysayers not the OP.

This woman's NDE, as well as many others, is a heaven type experience. More often is the tunnel with a light at the end and people you've known that have passed on. Less usual are experiences that have a hell or other unrelated theme.
I found this article to be too short and without enough information to make any conclusion from it other than it seems like a rather typical NDE. For me it doesn't do more than add statistical data to the subject.
