Gabe Poirot, 20, spent three days in a natural coma followed by 15 days in a medically induced coma after crashing at around 30mph while skateboarding without a helmet. He has since described seeing his own body from above before encountering Jesus Christ during what he describes as a near-death experience.

The accident happened in Texas on 25 October 2021. Poirot has said he suffered a severely shattered skull, brain haemorrhaging and serious lung injuries, and that he initially flatlined before being resuscitated in the ambulance.
