This Man Died For 7 Minutes Reveals What He Saw In The Afterlife And How He Escaped Death

In a remarkable story about life, death, and the mysteries of what comes after, actor Shiv Grewel shares his incredible experience with the afterlife. In 2013, Grewel suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and was declared dead for seven full minutes. His account of what happened during that time is both fascinating and unforgettable.

On that life-changing day, Grewel and his wife, Alison, were enjoying a peaceful lunch at a French restaurant in southeast London. Grewel felt perfectly fine during the meal. However, as they headed home, he suddenly felt exhausted and struggled to communicate. His condition worsened, leaving Alison deeply concerned.

Worried about his health, Alison quickly called NHS Direct for guidance. Unfortunately, Grewel’s health deteriorated rapidly, and his heart stopped beating.

Thankfully, paramedics arrived just in time. They performed CPR, reviving Grewel from what seemed like certain death. In a miraculous turn of events, he regained consciousness after being clinically dead for seven minutes.

Grewel has vividly described what he experienced during those seven minutes. He recalls feeling a sense of awareness, saying, “I knew, somehow, that I was dead. I could feel my brain dying and calling for help. But at the same time, I felt something completely separate from my body. It was as if I was floating in a void, yet I could still sense emotions and feelings.”

He refers to his experience in the afterlife as a “cosmic journey,” a term he uses to describe the strange and surreal visions he had during this time. Inspired by these profound experiences, Grewel has turned his journey into art, showcasing his emotions and reflections through paintings in his exhibition, ‘Reboot,’ held at the Karma Sanctum Hotel in London.

During his time in the afterlife, Grewel believes he was given several options, including the possibility of reincarnation. However, his desire to return to the physical world, to be with his wife, remained strong. “I demanded that I come back, and I got my wish,” he confidently shared.

He likens the afterlife to a “waking dream,” where he existed without a body but was still acutely aware of emotions and sensations. He remembers feelings of weightlessness, similar to swimming in water, and surreal visions of the moon and falling meteorites, giving him a sense of connection to something greater than himself.

When Grewel returned to life, it wasn’t without its challenges. He required several medical treatments, including the placement of a stent in his main artery and being placed in a medically induced coma to stabilize him. Even five years later, he struggles with mobility and speech difficulties and has developed epilepsy. Despite these physical challenges, his experience with the afterlife has deeply affected him.

As a person who once considered himself “scientifically-minded,” Grewel’s perspective on death has changed dramatically. Although he was initially skeptical about the idea of an afterlife, his experience has led him to accept that something exists beyond life. His views on death are now more complex—he feels less afraid of it, but he’s also more mindful of how precious life is.

Eager to share his new outlook, Grewel stresses the importance of kindness. He sees it as a “fundamental truth” that humanity must embrace for growth and improvement. In a world where the answers about life after death remain unclear, Shiv Grewel’s incredible journey offers a glimpse into the unknown and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of life and the connections that make it meaningful.
