It all began with a chance encounter. A medical professor, who had once been declared clinically dead, had survived and was now telling R.A. Moody about his experience of his own end and what came after, how he had experienced his own dying and being dead. Over the course of a five-year investigation, Dr. Moody managed to identify around 150 such cases. People who had been clinically dead but had lived on and could now share their experiences beyond the threshold. Now available in an expanded new edition with a foreword by Melvin Morse and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.
