What happens when you die

    What happens to us when we die? It’s a question that has exercised humanity’s finest minds since those humans have been around to have them – and has been recently the subject of a number of groundbreaking scientific studies. Now, a Reddit thread has posed the question specifically to those who have been clinically dead and then revived, and has received hundreds of responses.
