Man Comes Back to Life After Being 'Dead' for an Hour

[Amby 490]

A U.K. man came back from the dead after nearly drowning and having no pulse for up to an hour, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Architectural technician John Deeks was dragged from the water by two bathers after his body was spotted off of South Africa's Cape Town coast.

A doctor who was sunbathing on the beach began mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until rescue workers arrived.

"We don't know how long he was in the water but he must have been without a pulse for between 40 and 60 minutes," said Darren Zimmerman, station commander at the nearby National Sea Rescue Institute office.

Deeks, a South African native who now lives in Colliers Wood in south London, was put on a ventilator after the accident last Thursday. He was taken off the machine Saturday and was released from the hospital Wednesday night.

The 35-year-old said he does not remember what happened to him, but thinks a large wave may have dragged him into a whirlpool. "It's a miracle I survived," he told the Daily Mail.

I think, this man was dreaming about joining your fan club, that is why, he did not have any pulse for an hour. Seriously, he is a lucky man.

Shame he doesnt remember anything. I'd be interested in knowing what he was experiencing while dead.

When you cross over to the other side, they use memory dust on you to make you forget.

It's all part of the grand design.

Reminds me of the woman who has "died" 3 times and woken up in the morgue.

3 times it happened to her..she has some kind of condition where she passes out but it's as if she's dead.

They happened in the span of years.

So crazy

I was pissed after that episode - their storyline sucked, yeah, but ####### with the being buried alive? Not nice!

Lucky lucky guy and I agree that it is a shame he doesn't remember anything during his "death". I wonder if the water was very cold - may have slowed his pulse almost to nothing but kept him alive at the same time.

Lazarus demons - very dangerous, played by Coolio. Have to bury their remains in a cemetery, else they resurrect themselves.
