A MAN from Sweden claims he has experienced death not once, but twice, and lived to tell the tale on Reddit.

    In an online “Ask Me Anything” interview last week, Reddit user r00tdude, identified as Sasha Eliasson, shed light on what it feels like to be clinically dead.

    Eliasson, 22, was dead twice for about two minutes each time.

    His first “passing” reportedly took place in June 2014 when he was involved in a motorcycle crash.

    Eliasson briefly “died” a second time months later when he overdosed on painkillers following surgery.

    He described himself as a life-long atheist, said that both times he experienced “just black emptiness” devoid of any thoughts of consciousness.

    The Redditor compared the ordeal to taking a “short, dreamless nap,” and added that he only realized he had temporarily expired because the doctors were obligated to tell him.

    Sasha Eliasson said that his goal in life now, post-death, is to have fun and make other people’s lives better.

    “No personal achievement will matter to me once I’m dead,” he told his fellow Reddit users. “The only thing that will live on after my death will be my impact on the people that are still alive.”

    He revealed that dying twice has made it easier for him to cope with his mortality and accept the impending end as a given.

    “All you have to do is accept that death is what it is, a part of life, then you will understand that it is nothing to be afraid of,” he said. “Once you’re dead, that’s it, it’s over.”

    Last July, Eliasson posted an online message telling friends that June 25, he was riding his motorcycle on a highway when he ran into a construction site, slammed on the brakes and lost control of his vehicle, suffering a broken knee, shin and ankle.

    According to Eliasson, his shattered body shut down from the intense pain, and for about two minutes he had no pulse, breathing or consciousness.

    Eliasson’s second run-in with death came after a surgery. He claimed his body was in agony, so he took so many pain pills that his pulse plummeted to 10bpm and his respiratory system temporarily failed.

    “Both times I was just ‘not there.’ It was just all black. I would describe it as when you take a nap. A short nap with no dream, you wake up and it feels like you’ve been sleeping a long time, when in reality it’s only been about 15 minutes,” he recounted.

    Asked about what he felt the moment he died, the Reddit interviewee revealed that it was like as if someone had flipped the on/off switch.
