Paramedic who died for more than 11 minutes reveals ‘calm’ experience
A paramedic who died for more than 11 minutes has revealed his ‘calm’ near-death experience.
Adam Tapp – from London, Canada – recently appeared on the YouTube channel Beyond the Veil and recalled being dead for eleven and a half minutes in 2018 in “a state of absolute tranquility.”
Tapp, a paramedic of 20 years, was working on a wood shop project when a wood etching device pierced his hand and brutally electrocuted him to death for a while.
‘I moved the electrodes one by one and it ended up in my hands. And it was just a snapshot of reality,” Tapp recalled.
“And it was almost overwhelming. It was like an intense, intense level of absolute pain, like every cell in my body was being torn to pieces.”
After the “very dangerous machine” shocked him fatally, a friend of his, Mark Wilson, quickly disconnected the tool and called Tapp’s wife, Stephanie, a cardiac nurse.
She immediately began CPR on her husband and Wilson called 911 while Tapp was transported to his near-death experience.
Despite the excruciating pain of the shock, Tapp, the host of the podcast “Tapped into Psychedelics,” said that while he was dead, he felt like he was “looking spherical outward from one point.”

“And I wasn’t Adam. I wasn’t dead. I was nothing. I was just perfect, like absolute contentment,” he said, adding that while “there was no sense of consistency with anything,” he “just existed as consciousness.”
‘And then I felt some kind of frequency start to wash over me, and it was some kind of fractal patterning. And it was like gasoline on water, this rainbow effect that was iridescent to some extent.
“And it was just his combination of thoughts, feelings and emotions,” Tapp explained, adding that he felt himself being “pulled to pieces and thrown into everything.”
‘It was as if I essentially became a fabric of the universe. And it was absolutely perfect. As if there was no fear and it was nothing. This was just the natural progression of what each of us is going to do,” he added.
As his experience continued, Tapp said he felt like he was being electrocuted again, but this time it was his fellow paramedics who tried to revive him.
‘At that moment I didn’t understand what was happening. But in retrospect, it was me who was defibrillated. I was defibrillated twice. I had ventricular fibrillation arrhythmia, which is basically the heart spasm,” he explained.
Once the feeling of electrocution went away, Tapp said he quickly became aware of what was happening.

“And now I am aware that I am Adam, that I am dead, that I have just been electrocuted,” he said, adding that he was then in a “void of existence” for “a very long time.”
He also recalled the “smell of burnt flesh” as he showed off his missing finger, which had been burned off in the accident, as well as his other hand, which suffered third-degree burns as a result.
At the hospital, Tapp was in a coma for about eight hours before waking up intubated in the intensive care unit.
Tapp didn’t know how long he had been admitted and said he was surprised to find out he was only there for a few hours.
“If someone had told me it was five years ago or 10 years ago, I would have been all over that,” Tapp said.
After being released from the hospital, Tapp said he began to become “hyper-conscious” about himself, including his “natural pheromone scent” and “the texture of my skin.”
Over time, Tapp eventually “came back to accepting being in my body,” but he was still “left with the overwhelming feeling that this is just the stage.” Is simply an evolution of consciousness.

“This is just transient, where we exist now,” he continued.
After the frightening incident, Tapp said he started showing an interest in psychedelics.
“I feel that the nature of death experiences is so integrally linked to these secular connections and that dimethyltryptamine in our bodies and in our brains was responsible for dreams and death,” he explained.
He added that the experience also made him “so deeply spiritual” after coming face to face with “infinite consciousness.”
Tapp has also noticed how he has changed personally, adding that he has become more aligned with enjoying every moment, “rather than trying to assign meaning to everything.”
“And I think ultimately the one thing I would say to someone if they asked me what I learned from this, or the advice that comes with it, is that death is perhaps the most natural thing to happen. he said.
‘Being dead was easy. It was perfect, it was beautiful. You know, life is hard and difficult.”
