Shiv Grewal, a prominent British stage actor, has opened up about a remarkable encounter with death that has reshaped his perspective on life.

How did the British actor die for 7 minutes?

Grewal recounted the extraordinary events that transpired on February 9, 2013, when he suffered a cardiac arrest after having lunch with his wife Alison near their home in southeast London.

In an exclusive interview with PA Real Life, he said Alison's swift call for an ambulance was in vain, as Grewal's heart had already ceased to beat.

Grewal, 60 at the time, recollected the seven-minute period during which he believes he ventured into the afterlife.

"I knew, somehow, that I was dead," he stated, describing a sensation of being separated from his physical body yet still experiencing emotions and sensations.

"It was like I was in a void but could feel emotions and sensations," Grewal continued.

He likened the experience to swimming through water, feeling weightless and detached from the physical world.

Actor revived from death

During this surreal journey, Grewal pointed out that he traversed over celestial landscapes, viewing the moon, meteorites, and the vast expanse of space.

He revealed that he encountered what seemed like a spectrum of alternate lives and opportunities for reincarnation.

Yet, Grewal was resolute in his decision.

"I didn't want them," he emphasised, expressing his strong desire to return to his own body, his time, and his beloved wife.

An ambulance eventually arrived, and paramedics managed to restart Grewal's heart.

Following this revival, he underwent surgery to fix a main artery that was fully blocked, necessitating the insertion of a stent.

The ordeal did not conclude with his revival, as Grewal was placed in a medically induced coma for a month due to cerebral hypoxia, which resulted in epilepsy.

How does the actor express his encounter with death?

While his physical recovery has been challenging, Grewal found solace in his artistic expression, using his creative talents to encapsulate his near-death experience.

This has culminated in an exhibition titled Reboot.

The exhibition, currently on display at the Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel in London, showcases Grewal's artwork that vividly captures his extraordinary encounter with mortality.

He explained that the experience reduced his fear of death and heightened his appreciation for the preciousness of life's moments.

"My drive for life has been boosted," he affirmed.

Grewal's journey has also deepened his conviction in the significance of kindness, which he now regards as a fundamental truth essential for human evolution and betterment.
