Hey yeah Dave you should ask him. He sounds like a perfect candidate. Whats interesting is how similar the experince tends to be for people. Being drawn to a bright, peaceful light; a loved one that meets and comforts you and a general feeling of peace and oneness with the universe.

As I understand it there is a debate as to whether the experiance is

(i) induced by a chemical in the brain to ease the pain of death or

(ii) an indication of a seperate consciousness that exists seperate from the body (i'm in a hurry to add that its not necessarily a religious thing and people who think thats its (ii) are not necessarily religious (I personally am not religious).

I should also add that I am not advocating (i) or (ii). I just find it all interesting
