At some point, everyone wonders what happens when they die. It's a great mystery that none of us will ever get to experience until our day comes. Last month, Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest, collapsed on the field and was presumed dead. But after a brief coma and a 40-day stay in the hospital, Muamba tells his remarkable story of what it was like for those 78 minutes when doctors assumed that he had passed on.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Muamba gives a very detailed account of his experience before collapsing on the pitch at White Hart Lane and what happened in the moments thereafter.
“I ran upfield to try to get on the end of a cross from Martin Petrov on our left wing and as I ran back into midfield I felt very slightly dizzy,” Muamba said. “It wasn’t normal dizziness — it was a kind of surreal feeling like I was running along inside someone else’s body. It’s hard to explain. … Then I made another burst forward and noticed it again — that dizzy feeling again. But then my vision started to go.
Later on in the interview, Muamba takes the time to thank Dr. Andrew Deaner for everything he did to bring him back to life. “It was pure chance that Dr Deaner was in the crowd that day. I owe him everything. He is the reason I have been able to hold my baby son again and continue my life."
