Boy Dead for Three Hours Revives, Reports Seeing Great Grandma in Heaven

by Allan Hall, The London Daily Mail

LYCHEN, GERMANY - Paul Eicke said: "There was a lot of light and I was floating. I came to a gate and I saw Grandma Emmi on the other side. She said to me, 'What are you doing here Paul? You must go back to mummy and daddy. I will wait for you here.' I knew I was in heaven. But grandma said I had to come home. Heaven looked nice. But I am glad I am back with mummy and daddy now."

It is believed he was in the pond at his grandparents' house for several minutes before his grandfather saw him and pulled him out. Doctors tried to resuscitate him for hours. The water in the pond was very cold and the boy's core temperature was just 82, compared to the normal of 98.6. Cold temperatures slow the metabolism-which means the body can survive for longer without oxygen.
