What happens in the last moments before we die has long been a secret to everyone but the dead. But scientists may have found the answer after an 87yo man with epilepsy died of a heart attack while undergoing a brain scan. It was the first time that human brain activity had been recorded during death, and a subsequent study by the University of Louisville into the results revealed that people may actually relive their lives in the seconds before they die. In the 30 seconds before and after the man’s final heartbeat, the scan picked up brain activity linked to memory retrieval, meditation and dreaming. It suggests that our lives may indeed flash before our eyes – something backed up by some who have had near-death experiences – or alternatively, the brain might enter a peaceful dream-like state. But scientists still aren’t certain, as more studies need to be done on the matter. Bags not volunteering for that…
