A retired end of life doctor has revealed what really happens when you die.
Dr Kathryn Mannix, from Northumberland, specialises in palliative and end of life care and describes the transition to death as a "process" mirroring birth.
She has used her 30 years in the profession to inspire her to write books With the End in Mind and Listen, and believes when the time comes it is "probably not as bad as you're expecting".
