UM-Bot Posted April 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2018 The 53-year-old was resuscitated despite lying lifeless outside with no heartbeat for the better part of a day. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/317037/man-revived-after-being-dead-for-18-hours 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundew Posted April 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Wonder if he will relate a near death experience? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krater Posted April 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2018 No. He was not dead. Dead is forever. Death is the permanent cessation of cellular activity. Fascinating story, though. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bison Posted April 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Near-freezing conditions, it said. So, cold enough to prevent degeneration of the man's body, but not so cold as to damage it. Remarkable that the need for oxygen to the brain was reduced to such an extent that he could be revived after 18 hours, and not suffer brain damage. This would normally occur within about 4 minutes.

UFOwatcher Posted April 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Misleading picture. The picture is a CPR training photograph. Looks like a dummy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bison Posted April 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yes, the arm fits into a visible socket, with excess space around it. A plastic dummy. I doubt that the hospital would release a picture of the actual patient, due to privacy concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted April 9, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Ahhhh... right... the title of the UmBot post is misleading. the ACTUAL Times article said "...Man resuscitated after heart stops for 18 hours..." and NOT "..after being dead for 18 hours.. " https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/man-resuscitated-after-heart-stops-for-18-hours-td68bttnc Still pretty remarkable though... most especially as the doctors reckon he has NOT suffered from brain damage. Well, insofar as it is possible to tell with a Frenchman Edited April 9, 2018 by RoofGardener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skliss Posted April 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 11, 2018 When my son was in Jr high (he's in college now) he did a report about a doctor working on this type of cold being used in emergency situations to slow down body functions until people could be transported for treatment. He was trying to make it commonplace for EMS to use. I guess he's still working on it but obviously he was on to something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaric Posted April 12, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Uhuh... I seen this in a movie once. It’s all fun and games until the demon that came back disguised as him goes on a rampage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people that go through this usually have a story to tell. We'll see if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
