Man describes surreal experience after being considered dead for 45 minutes
The TikToker, who uses the handle @ believes he went over to the afterlife, during which time the man watched his life unfold as if it was a film A man who was considered dead for around 45 minutes has revealed what he saw. The TikToker believes he went over to the afterlife following a nasty reaction to medication. After the man, known as @ on TikTok, collapsed on the floor of a restaurant bathroom, he became lifeless and says doctors thought he was dead for around 45 minutes. He says paramedics only realised there was sign of life after he was put into a body bag. The man understands he was unconscious and had slipped into the afterlife, where he was able to "witness his death". "I was looking at everything from above, but what's weird is it didn't feel like it was me at all even though I was sitting there looking at my own dead body," he said. "I would almost be like going to a movie, like a real movie, and seeing someone dressed like you and looking like you on the movie, but you're like, 'That's not me because I'm over here watching the movie.'" His story comes after a woman from Colorado, US, argued death is an illusion, following her near death experience. Brianna Lafferty, 33, heard a voice asking if she was ready – and agreed – as she entered into complete darkness when she became lifeless recently. The TikToker's case mirrors Brianna's one as @ a former bodybuilder, also "ended up dying" on the bathroom floor after his convulsions. When he was found, he was cold to the touch and so doctors understood he had passed away. And the Express US reports the man watched the very scene unfold - like a movie - as he entered the afterlife briefly. He continued: "My background is in TV and film, so I though that was such an off choice for the director to think he needed to overplay all these thoughts of everyone in the room." The former bodybuilder said ge watched paramedics bag his body and place him in an ambulance. As he was riding in the back, he started to see a light - and he regained consciousness. Then, the man allegedly heard one of the paramedics say: "This one's not dead." The medic unzipped the body bag, and he found a sign he was still alive. That's when the man finally started to realize he was watching his own death. The man detailed his experience in a TikTok clip this week, which coincided with Brianna's journey. Speaking to reporters, she said: "Death is an illusion because our soul never dies. Our consciousness remains alive. And our very being only transforms. My thoughts instantly manifested into the afterlife. I noticed that our thoughts create a reality there – it just takes time – which is a blessing."

Danica Patrick told to change 'poor' outfit again at Indy 500 after F1 demands
Danica Patrick, who is a regular pundit on FOX Sports' NASCAR coverage, appeared in their Indy 500 coverage on Sunday but was urged to 'change her outfit' by some fans NASCAR legend Danica Patrick was told to "change her outfit" during the Indy 500 as she featured on FOX Sports' coverage. Patrick, who has a history in IndyCar racing and is known for her support of US President Donald Trump, often sparks online chatter due to her wardrobe choices or remarks whenever she's on air. This time, at the prestigious Indy 500, it was all about her attire. On Sunday, Patrick opted for a one-shoulder dress for the big event in Indianapolis. A contentious choice, Patrick joined the pre-race panel alongside several high-profile figures to discuss the race - and her outfit was black and white, possibly a tribute to the iconic checkered flag. However, this proved to be polarising. While some fans adored it, others were not so fond of the look. One viewer wrote online: "Get a message to Danica if you can and have her change her outfit for the day. She looks like she has a curtain draped around her," reports the Express US. Another, meanwhile, added: "The black/white diagonally striped dress on Danica Patrick is hideous and shows poorly on TV. How in the heck was such a dress chosen for TV?? Really oblivious decision there." However, it wasn't all distaste for Patrick's outfit, with others coming across as more complimentary. Another fan wrote: "WOW!!! Danica GREAT dress! You look awesome!" It comes as Patrick was slammed by Sky Sports viewers of the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix earlier this month for sporting a one-shoulder dress that cut off above the knee. Some viewers, in-turn, labelled her outfit as a "bedsheet" and a "toga". In the 109th Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Spaniard Alex Palou clinched his first win, beating Marcus Ericsson in an exhilarating race. Palou outperformed 32 other drivers to claim victory in the iconic race for the first time. Patrick has established herself as a prominent figure in both IndyCar and NASCAR. The 43-year-old holds the title of the most successful female in American open-wheel car racing history, with her remarkable win in the 2008 Indy Japan 300 marking the only victory by a woman in an IndyCar Series race. From 2012 to 2018, Patrick competed in the NASCAR Cup Series, finishing with seven top 10s and one pole position across 191 races. Throughout her career on the track, Patrick achieved numerous firsts for women in American racing, including becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar Series race and secure a pole position in the NASCAR Cup series. She also holds the record for the most starts, laps led, and top-tens by a woman in NASCAR Cup Series history.

Kanye West says he's received 'death threats' after controversial 'incest' lyrics
Kanye West has recently come forward with the startling revelation that he's been receiving death threats after confessing to an incestuous encounter with his male cousin. The 47-year-old rap mogul, whose estranged wife Bianca Censori reportedly gave a brutal ultimatum to save their marriage , made headlines last week with a barrage of bombshell statements while promoting his latest tracks. In a jaw-dropping admission tied to his new song "Cousins," Kanye disclosed: "My name is Ye, and I sucked my cousins d--- till I was 14." Following this personal disclosure, the artist behind hits like "Carnival" - who recently claimed his reportedly antisemitic tweets mean he hasn't seen his kids this year - took to social media to share a concerning update, claiming that the threats to his life have intensified since he exposed this family secret. Read More Related Articles 'Obsessed' Donald Trump brutally mocks Taylor Swift and incurs wrath of Swifties Read More Related Articles Ivanka Trump spotted in rare White House appearance as fears grow over Trump's limp Despite the menacing situation, Kanye remains defiant, vowing: "Even with the death threats I will still post these positive bars from the Torah," referencing the holy scriptures central to Jewish faith and practice. He went on to advocate: "Study Torah daily because it brings life and blessing," a statement that sharply contrasts his earlier controversial remarks about Judaism and related topics, reports the Express US . West posted a series of inspiring spiritual quotes from the Torah, beginning with: "Pray with sincerity not just with words. Always seek to bring peace between people. Saving one life is like saving the whole world. Serve God with joy and gladness of heart. Bring happiness to others and inherit the World to Come." He urged his followers on X to focus on gratitude and compassion every day, adding: "Bless God every day for the miracles of life. Emulate God's mercy by being kind and compassionate. Accept hardships with faith that they are for good. Torah study protects the soul from the evil inclination. Those who study Torah at night are surrounded by grace during the day. Give charity in secret without seeking honor. Speak kindly to everyone and spread peace." Kanye continued to express his spiritual views, emphasizing the importance of sincerity and repentance in daily life. He wrote: "Worship God with sincerity because He desires the heart. Repentance has the power to heal the world. Humility allows the Torah to take root in a person. Find a reason to rejoice every single day." Kanye West has claimed to have received "death threats" (Image: (Image: Getty)) The musician wrapped up his extended tweet with a message for compassion and understanding, saying: "Judge others favorably and spread kindness. The purpose of the Torah is to bring peace to the world." West shared a personal story behind his track "COUSINS," which delves into family trauma. He revealed the song's inspiration: "This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that's locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn't 'look at dirty magazines together' anymore." He expressed a deep sense of guilt, admitting: "Perhaps in my self-centered mess, I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was six, and then we acted out what we saw." The song has sparked controversy due to Kanye's explicit lyrics reflecting on his past with his cousin. In the lyrics, he raps: "Hanging with my cousin reading dirty magazines / We seen some n-as kiss, and we ain't know what that s–t mean / Then we start reenacting everything that we had seen / That's when I gave my cousin head." He goes on to say: "People tell me take it to my grave," and adds: "'Truth will set you free someday.' I don't think they understand that I'm not attracted to a man." The music video for "Cousins" features jarring imagery, including raw home-video footage, provocative visuals like a woman with swastikas for nipples, a sign that reads "4 f----ts," and a burning cross.

Putin's chilling 14-word demand to Zelensky as Kremlin announces three-day ceasefire
On the momentous 80th anniversary of Russian Victory Day, President Vladimir Putin has declared a ceasefire, a move that comes amid escalating pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump for Moscow to cease hostilities in Ukraine . Russian state media outlets have reported that the ceasefire will commence at the stroke of midnight on May 7 and is set to conclude at the same time on May 11. "By decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, based on humanitarian considerations , during the days of the 80th anniversary of the Victory - from midnight on May 7-8 to midnight on May 10-11, the Russian side declares a ceasefire," the Kremlin proclaimed. Read More Related Articles Donald Trump loses the plot as he compares tariff flip-flop to running through a wall Read More Related Articles Donald Trump branded 'disgusting' as he honors Pope Francis in 'baffling' way The Kremlin further stated, "All military actions are suspended for this period," issuing a challenge to Kyiv to reciprocate. They also cautioned that they would deliver "an adequate and effective response" should Ukraine breach the ceasefire terms, reports the Express US . "The Russian side once again declares its readiness for peace negotiations without preconditions, aimed at eliminating the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, and constructive interaction with international partners," the Kremlin continued. Despite previously announcing a unilateral ceasefire concerning energy infrastructure, Russia had breached that declaration. Victory Day, observed on May 9 in Russia, marks the commemoration of the Soviet Union's triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II. This update follows Trump's denunciation of Moscow's overnight missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, which left at least 90 people injured and claimed 12 lives. Having been traditionally hesitant to criticize the Kremlin, Trump voiced his discontent, saying he was "not happy" about it. He called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to halt the destructive bombings, writing, "Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP!" on his platform Truth Social. The bombardment ranks among the most severe assaults by Russian forces since Putin commenced the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, an event Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky labeled as one of Russia's "most outrageous." In footage shared by Anton Gerashchenko, former adviser to Ukraine's Minister of Internal Affairs, a North Korean KN-23 (KN-23A) ballistic missile is seen hitting Kyiv. Zelensky later revealed on Telegram that the missile included parts from various nations, including the United States. According to Zelensky's statement on Telegram, the failure to exert adequate pressure on Russia allows for such missile imports and their subsequent use in Europe, while insufficient actions against North Korea and its partners facilitate the production of these ballistic missiles. Moscow and Pyongyang have denied allegations of weapon transfers, but Ukraine insists that North Korea has provided Russia with military support , including artillery shells, rocket systems, soldiers, and ballistic missiles—specifically 148 KN-23 and KN-24 ballistic missiles. The assault occurred just as weeks of peace talks seemed to be concluding without a resolution and shortly after Trump criticized Zelenskyy for extending the "killing field" by not conceding the Russia-held Crimea Peninsula in a potential agreement.
