Heavenly Life Review Was ‘Mostly Road Rage Incidents,’ Recalls Man Dead For 8 Minutes

WHEN local man Terry Power suffered a heart attack and was clinically dead for eight minutes, he expected a peaceful crossing to the other side. Instead, he spent most of it being shown a highlight reel of his most aggressive road rage moments.

“I remember looking down at doctors working on someone and thinking, ‘look at that poor cunt,’” Power recalls. “Then I realised it was me, and I was being dragged toward a beautiful tunnel of light.”

A known phenomenon in near-death experiences, the ‘life review’ is said to be a rapid, panoramic replay of one’s life with a heightened sense of emotional awareness. For Terry, it was slide after slide of him tearing people apart behind the wheel.

“There I was brake checking BMWs, chasing drivers to their workplaces for pulling out in front of me, and on more than one occasion, shunting cyclists off the road. My angel guide had his hands over his face, just shaking his head in disgust looking at a gold watch and saying this has been his longest life review for a while.”

Power, a DHL delivery driver from Waterford, said the euphoric moment most people describe was instead “like watching a horror film starring myself, as the villain in a filthy white van terrorising the local roads.”

Thankfully, doctors managed to resuscitate him. But before returning to his body, Power claims his angel had a stern word.

“He was like, ‘Terry, you need to chill out behind the wheel. You’ve got more work to do.’ And I told him straight – ‘You can say that again. Christmas is coming, and I’ll have at least 200 stops a day. Let me stay here, to fuck – I barely make minimum wage down there’.”

Following his celestial slap on the wrist, Terry decided it was time for change.

“I gave up the delivery game. I’ve started my own clamping business now. I focus mainly on double-parked delivery drivers – I’ve gone full circle.”
