Sudden blood loss pushed Kevin Hill to the brink of death, and he revealed his own near-death experience (NDE), which he describes as something extraordinary, not just a hallucination.

“I looked down at my body and felt detached from it, as if I were in a spirit realm, yet I was still aware of what was happening—my body was losing blood severely and being attended to by medical staff. I felt no fear; instead, I felt very at peace,” Kevin told the Mirror in an interview about his near-death experience.
This man suffered from calciphylaxis, a rare condition that causes calcium to accumulate in small blood vessels, leading to skin and fat tissue necrosis and resulting in severe blood loss.
Several studies on near-death moments conducted in 2022 found that when individuals are between life and death, they may experience a sensation of their self separating from their body.
These individuals no longer feel pain but can still perceive their surroundings, similar to Kevin’s experience.
In addition, they may exhibit symptoms such as drowsiness, changes in breathing, changes in skin color, a perception of bright light, and heightened senses.
According to a study conducted by the European Academy of Neurology in 2019, out of 289 near-death experience experiments, 106 validated this phenomenon.
These experiences may sound horrifying; however, the moments between life and death have transformed people’s mental states positively.
“When I came back from death and left the hospital, the atmosphere in my family changed significantly. I became more resilient, and I knew I could recover,” Kevin shared.
In summary, near-death experiences involve the sensation of a person being detached from their body while being fully aware of the impending death.
This is followed by a significant psychological transformation in a positive direction as they surmount death and return to the real world.
It is important to note that hallucinations and near-death experiences are entirely different, although both involve witnessing events that do not actually occur.
