  I was dead for 2 1/2 minutes when I was 13. So, while it's true that death has only happened to me once in my life so far, it's very likely that my overall total will be higher. >

  Terrible kdr >
  
  You don't know me! >
  
  Technically death is the end of life and therefor death is a null in a lifetime event (unless revived) >
  
  Well said, reminds me of: “Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.” - Epicurus, Greek Philosopher >
  
  Not always. There are people who die and come back to life.   I didn't officially die.  But to my consciousness I thought I did. 
  When I was 8, I fell in a frozen lake and I almost froze to death.  I can remember letting go of my will to live,  And accepting the peacefulness of the darkness as I Went to sleep not expecting to wake backup.   I can remember letting go of my hold on life.  I can remember The relief of choosing the peace of oblivion.  Felt like My consciousness completely detached from my body.   
  Felt like I was abruptly thrown back into my body, As I suddenly woke up to my dad putting dry clothes on me and Desperately trying to warm me up.   Something shifted changed in me after that.    I've lost consciousness before and it felt completely different.  This time it felt like my spirit got severed from my body.   And then it was hastily reattached, But the seal that kept my spirit in place was broken.    And I can sense that discrepancy, Don't really know what it is or what it means.  
  No I did not die.   However, to 8 year old me,  I died when I let myself fall asleep.  I felt weird when I woke up.  I was alive but I didn't feel fully alive.   I felt numb.  Emotionally numb and physically numb.  My core froze.  I could no longer warm myself up, Or keep myself warm.  I was cold and shivering all the time I'd wear Winter hats in the summer.   
  It's so hard to explain It's like I felt I was dead but still living in my body.  In a way it felt like it was a mistake that I was alive.   I was usually in a constant battle with myself. >
  
  People die and are brought back to life all the time. So wrong, and unoriginal >
  
  Then they're not actually dead, we just haven't developed the correct definition yet. >
  
  Hmmm the doctors say they're dead so I'm gonna trust them more than u/DBCOOPER888 or OP since I'm sure they're infinitely smarter. >
  
  They never died if they are still alive. Doctors themselves will admit their definition of death is not perfect. >
  
  Except they did die then were resuscitated. JFC you and OP are the same trolls that clearly don't understand and are wilfully ignorant. Also Lazarus Syndrome Where people were declared dead and then came back to life without assistance. So you're fucking wrong deal with it. >
  
  Then they didn't die. All that means is our sensing equipment and scientific knowledge is not perfect. Sort of like when we thought someone's heart stopping used to mean death but we changed it because we had a more accurate, but not perfect, definition. At most we can say they're in the stage of dying but brought back.
  Why are you taking this so personally? >
  
  Except they did die, clearly youre not a Dr and have no basis to judge as I have provided sources where Iactual Drs show I'm'm right. This misinformation and just internet dumbassery needs to stop and you're not helping with this shit comment. >
  
  Then they didn't fucking die. They were on the verge of death but didn't. As stated over and over and over, all this means is our definitions need to change. 
  What fucking sources are you talking about? A wiki article that doesnt even prove your argument? Pathetic. Did you even read it?
  Why is this such a big deal to you that you'd go on and on about it? >
  
  Again you're not a Dr. If a Dr says they died who TF are you to debate them. Next you'll tell ms the world is flat, and vaccines don't work, and track you because you're anti science. The professionals say it's so you clearly haven't done a fraction of the work they did so to say it plainly you're wrong. End of discussion. >
  
  Is this a fucking joke? Pronouncing someone dead does not mean they literally died. As I stated, all this means is the definition and technology the doctor used to pronounce them dead is imperfect. 
  This is shown when they changed the definition from heart failure to brain death. Like, do you even fucking know this?
  Anti science? Doctors say the exact same thing I'm saying, so what the fuck are you even talking about? They'd be the first to say our knowledge and technology can be improved. >
  
  A friend of mine was in a car accident and died, then was revived at the hospital. She was dead for over 6 minutes before they got her back. No matter what, she's gonna die at least one more time. Twice>once. >
  
  Permanent death is a once in a lifetime event. Memories makes those gone before us make them temporarily immortal... Until there's no one left to remember them >
  
  I know I have crossed over but i am not sure how dead I was. I was crumpled on the floor and bleeding from my head but I was also able to make it to the bathroom to see my face covered in blood >
  
  I met a girl whos father had died 5 times, for about a minute each after having a car crash :( >
  
  Our death is once in our lifetime. Death itself is always happening around us. I've seen death a few times already.
