Woman Who Died for 24 Minutes Shares What It Felt Like — And What She Misses Most

She flatlined.
Her heart stopped.
For 24 minutes, there was no pulse, no breath, no brain activity.
Then — a miracle.
Lauren Canaday, a woman from the U.S., survived sudden cardiac arrest in her home after her husband performed CPR and EMTs arrived in time to resuscitate her.
She was clinically dead.
And yet — she came back.
Now, she’s sharing what it was like… not with fear, but with wonder.
In a now-viral Reddit post, Lauren opened up about her experience — not just the medical trauma, but the unexpected peace she felt during those 24 minutes when her body was still, and her mind, by all scientific measure, should have been silent.
