Out of the mouths of babes....

Clinically dead German boy, 3, 'saw granny in Heaven'

 A three-year-old boy revived by doctors after being clinically dead for more than three hours says he saw his great-grandmother in Heaven, the Bild daily reported on Thursday.
The boy, named only as Paul, was airlifted to hospital after falling into a lake at the end of his grandparents' garden in the town of Lychen, north of Berlin, and doctors were about to abandon resuscitation efforts.
But after three hours and 18 minutes, Paul's heart starting beating again.
"I have never experienced anything like it," one of the doctors, Lothar Schweigerer, told Bild. "Normally when children have been underwater for several minutes, they don't make it."
"Paul said to his parents:'I was floating into a bright light and came to some big golden gates and they were opened by Oma'
'I was with Oma (granny) Emmi in Heaven. She told me that I had to go back ,to go back really quickly'."
