DEAD Talks She Saw Heaven and Hell: A Near-Death Experience with Kathy McDaniel (#90)
Kathy McDaniel’s extraordinary near-death experience began when she was placed on a ventilator in 1999 after a sudden, life-threatening flu caused total lung failure. For three weeks, she fought for survival in a drug-induced coma, where she found herself in an inexplicably terrifying realm she describes as hell. What happened next was even more profound — Kathy was guided from darkness into an overwhelming experience of heaven, love, and light.
In this powerful conversation, Kathy shares:
- What she saw and felt during her near-death experience
- How her time in “hell” shaped her perspective on life and spirituality
- Her eventual journey into heaven and the lessons she brought back
- Why she now believes death is not the end, but a transition full of meaning
This episode is a gripping and emotional story of survival, spiritual awakening, and the transformative power of facing death head-on.

About DEAD Talks
DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
