Life after death: Pneumonia survivor recalls floating in air in 'state of weightlessness'

After choosing to stay alive, Kristin said she found herself back in her body and was soon after discovered by her parents who took her to the hospital.

Kristin’s account may seem incredible but it is not unique and likely a byproduct of natural processes.

Although scientists have not yet figured out what causes NDEs, the leading theories state they are hallucinations triggered during moments of trauma.

According to one theory, the hallucinations are caused by an insufficient amount of oxygen flowing to the brain.

Another theory suggests NDEs appear when brain cells start to die.
