This Paramedic Died for 11 Minutes and Came Back – What He Reveals Will Amaze You!

The concept of life after death has been a topic of intrigue and speculation for centuries, with countless individuals recounting near-death experiences that defy explanation. One such individual is Adam Tapp, a seasoned paramedic from London, Canada, whose brush with death led to a profound and 'tranquil' journey beyond the veil of our physical world.

In February 2018, Tapp's life took an unexpected turn while working on a woodshop project. A wood-etching device malfunctioned, piercing his hand and delivering a fatal electric shock. For 11 harrowing minutes, Tapp was dead. His experience during those minutes, however, was anything but harrowing.


During a recent appearance on the YouTube channel Beyond the Veil, Tapp shared his extraordinary experience. Despite the initial excruciating pain from the electrocution, Tapp described his near-death state as one of 'absolute tranquility.' He recounted feeling as though he was observing the universe from a single point, seeing 'spherically outwards,' detached from his earthly identity.

'I wasn't Adam. I wasn't dead. I wasn't anything. I was just perfect, like absolute contentment,' Tapp explained. He described his existence as pure awareness, without consistency or form, immersed in a sea of fractal patterns and iridescent colors, reminiscent of gasoline on water.


This serene existence was interrupted by a sensation akin to being electrocuted once more, which Tapp later realized was the life-saving efforts of his fellow paramedics defibrillating him. After two shocks to his heart, which had been spasming in a ventricular fibrillation arrhythmia, Tapp's awareness began to return to his physical body.

Upon regaining consciousness, Tapp found himself in the hospital's intensive care unit, intubated and recovering from the ordeal. The smell of burnt flesh lingered, a stark reminder of the accident that had claimed his finger and left third-degree burns on his hand. Despite the trauma, Tapp awoke with a heightened sense of self-awareness, noticing details about his body he had never paid attention to before.

The experience left an indelible mark on Tapp's psyche. He emerged from the hospital with a newfound appreciation for the present moment and a belief that our current existence is but a transient stage in the evolution of consciousness. This profound shift in perspective led him to explore the realms of psychedelics, seeking to understand the connection between these substances, near-death experiences, and the human brain's role in dreaming and dying.


Tapp's journey through death has imbued him with a deep spirituality and a sense of peace regarding the natural process of dying. 'Being dead was easy. It was perfect, it was beautiful. You know, it's being alive that's difficult and hard,' he reflected.

I have experienced a number of NDE's . The first as a 19yr old. Drowning, exhausted and unable to surface a ( calm came over me as I sank, the water became a peaceful pastel blue in colour.) Four young men realising I had been under for a long time, dove down and saved me. In recovery sitting on the bank these words came to me: To say that I have seen death is say 'seconds I could not count.'
I am about to celebrate my 75th birthday.

I died when I was 17, from acute asthma which caused a double lung collapse and cardiac arrest.
I remember dying in the car on the way to a hospital 5km away. I was struggling in pain, until my lungs collaped. As I drifted off I remember thinking "17, I did not live very long. Mum will be upset." Then I seemed to be above everything, watching things happening outside of the resuscitation bay. Outside the hospital entrance I saw my boyfriend punch a downpipe. I heard what he was saying. I saw my mother next to me even though I was unconscious/dead/being revived.
I woke up in intensive care amazed I was alive.
 
My husband passed away on the 30th December 2024.
I have a great feeling of peace after reading Adam's experience.
I lost the best human I have ever known. It is a blessing to think that my Johnny is in such a special space.
So sorry to hear... sincere condolences - MHDSRIP 💕 💕 🌹 🌹
