Near-death events were categorized into four types of experiences: emotional, cognitive,spiritual/religiousand supernatural.

The research identified common traits in these reports – especially having out-of-body experiences, passing through a tunnel, having heightened senses, seeing deceased people or religious figures, encountering a bright light and reviewing life events.
