Colton Burpo describes meeting Jesus and hearing angels sing during near-death experience

What happens after we die remains one of humanity's most enduring questions, but one man who came perilously close to death says he caught a glimpse of what lies beyond and returned to tell the story.

"I had a ruptured appendix for five days before doctors caught it, and when I was in that emergency surgery, I lifted out of my body and I looked down and I could see the doctors — they were working on me," Colton Burpo, the central figure behind "Heaven Is for Real," told the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast.
