Back in 2014, he was at home, struggling to open a container lid, when he felt sudden, intense chest pressure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a truck driver and I think I\u2019m having a heart attack,\u201d he told 911 seconds before it happened,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fox8.com\/2014\/02\/17\/man-shares-near-death-experience-i-started-walking-toward-the-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fox 8 Cleveland reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors quickly cleared the blockage in his main artery. But moments later, he developed ventricular fibrillation, a condition where the heart quivers and cannot pump blood.<\/p>\n<p>ICU nurse Emily Bishop recalls the tense moments vividly: \u201cHe had no heart rate, he had no blood pressure, he had no pulse. I mean, think about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-pronounced-dead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pronounced dead<\/h2>\n<p>Doctors performed \u201cstrong, hard, fast CPR\u201d and shocked Brian four times, but nothing worked.

He found himself walking down a path lined with flowers, where he encountered his late stepmother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was the most beautiful thing when I seen her, it was like the first day I met her, (she) looked so happy,\u201d Brian remembered. \u201cShe grabbed ahold of my arm and told me, \u2018It\u2019s not your time, you don\u2019t need to be here, we\u2019ve got to take you back, you\u2019ve got things to go and do.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Brian, the experience confirmed something he had long wondered about: the existence of an afterlife.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is an afterlife and people need to believe in it, big time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rll-youtube-player\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OlyABe2fmcQ\" data-id=\"OlyABe2fmcQ\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-alt=\"Brian Miller, dead for 45 minutes, talks about seeing &quot;heaven&quot;\">\n<div data-id=\"OlyABe2fmcQ\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OlyABe2fmcQ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/OlyABe2fmcQ\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Brian Miller, dead for 45 minutes, talks about seeing \" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/OlyABe2fmcQ\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><button class=\"play\" aria-label=\"Play Youtube video\" data-rocket-lazy-bg-2766fa78-d2c7-4812-93ad-62e29bd4fc2b=\"loaded\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Stories like Brian\u2019s continue to divide opinion.
