'I died for several minutes and saw my body spin like a tornado - then the voice came'

A man, who was pronounced dead for several minutes, claims he saw his body 'spinning up like a tornado' and was sent back to Earth by Jesus.

Chase Skylar DeMayo,38, had been training relentlessly for a place in the Air Force when he suddenly collapsed and was later discovered unconscious by his supervisor. He was rushed to hospital where he had X-rays and blood tests taken.

Despite appearing relatively stable, Chase's vision suddenly became blurred, and he recalled floating mid-air watching his body "from above". And was met with a familiar face and voice.

"The last thing I heard was alarms going off. A calming voice told me that it would be OK, and I felt no fear at all – only peace. I watched my body from above as I spun upward like a tornado, surrounded by lights, angels, laughter and music like bells," Chase said.

"I ended up in a vibrant garden with colours brighter than anything here on Earth. There, I saw Jesus. Not the usual image, but with curly brown hair, green eyes and a warm smile.

"He was playing with a child who was my younger, happier self. We connected without words. He told me to go back and spread love, laughter, light and joy. And reminded me of my true purpose on Earth beyond everyday struggles. No matter my past, I had light to chase and share."

Chase, from Florida, US, who was only 19 at the time, was alone when he initially fell unconscious. It later became apparent why he had felt unwell when an air embolism entered his IV drip at the hospital, triggering cardiac arrest, where he flatlined.

When he woke up, he was disconnected from the numerous machines that had been keeping him alive, and miraculously, his heart was functioning as if nothing had occurred. He revealed: "I was discharged quickly, with tests showing no damage. But I remember everything. I was fully aware, and the initial pain I felt turned into calm.

"There was an element of surprise, though no fear about dying. It was peaceful and beautiful, like cool ice leaving my chest. I didn't want to leave the garden at first, but I understood my purpose wasn't done."

Chase, who was declared dead for several minutes, claims he can now detect other people's emotions and that his "palms tingle" when speaking to God or Jesus. Not only that, he claims to possess an ability to heal using just his hands.

Eventually, he retired from his role on medical grounds and has now completed his doctorate in holistic counselling, with the goal of helping people discover their life's purpose.

"It's changed everything for me. I chase forgotten joys. And I live with a reminder each day to live with purpose, chasing light even in dark times. I feel grateful and transformed," he shared.

"I hid it for years to avoid being labelled, but I now see it as a gift that reshaped my path. I'm no longer fearful of death and embrace how fragile life is instead. I still communicate with Jesus, angels and find peace in the unknown."
