Not to be confused with Near-death experience.
Deathbed phenomena refers to a range of experiences reported by people who are dying.[1][2] There are many examples of deathbed phenomena in both non-fiction and fictional literature, which suggests that these occurrences have been noted by cultures around the world for centuries, although scientific study of them is relatively recent. In scientific literature such experiences have been referred to as death-related sensory experiences (DRSE).[3] Dying patients have reported to staff working in hospices they have experienced comforting visions.[4][5][6]
Modern scientists consider deathbed phenomena and visions to be hallucinations.[7][8][9]
