WHEN you die you KNOW you’re dead, according to terrifying new research with profound implications for world religions.
When the heart stops the blood supply to the brain is quickly cut off – and in operating theatres this moment would be recorded as the official time of death.
But studies show that the dead person’s mind and consciousness continue to work, at least for a short time – meaning the deceased can recognise their own death.
Indeed there is some evidence to suggest the ‘dead person’ may even hear their own death being announced as they lie on the operating theatre table.
