In 1994, Dr. Anthony Cicoria had an experience that changed his life forever: He was revived after being clinically dead.
In a freak accident, he was struck by lightning at his home and thrown across the room. That's the moment he witnessed something unexplainable, just like the teen driver who says she saw heaven.
"I was completely separated and I was going someplace else," the orthopedic surgeon told Fox 5 NY. "And in that white light was truly the most amazing feeling. If you could imagine absolute love and peace."
Yet, Cicoria isn't the only person to have experienced something of this sort.
"We also have clear evidence that in many examples where people have described these so-called near-death, or what we call actual death experiences, that their experiences are absolutely not hallucinations," said Stony Brook University researcher Dr. Sam Parnia. "The people that I study are only those who have objectively gone beyond death."
It took Cicoria a long time to come to terms with the fact that he'll never fully understand what happened to him that day. But, he says he's still happy to have been "given an opportunity to know that something else exists."
"I think that's one of the great gifts that could ever be given to somebody," he added.
