In 1740, a respected pharmacist of Paris lay unconscious, so close to death that the physicians attending him feared he would never wake. When he opened his eyes again, he told them something no patient had ever told a doctor before.

This episode tells the story of the Paris pharmacist's astonishing vision, the oldest medical description of a near-death experience ever recorded. His case was documented by the physician Pierre-Jean du Monchaux in his 1766 book Anecdotes de medecine, and modern researchers have identified it as the earliest known NDE case in the medical literature. While he lay motionless and unresponsive, the pharmacist later reported, he was surrounded by a light so bright, so pure, and so beautiful that he was certain he was in heaven. He said it was the most pleasant moment of his entire life, a peace and joy beyond anything he had ever known.

The account is brief, but it contains every essential element that modern researchers recognize in near-death experiences: the encounter with a brilliant benevolent light, the overwhelming sense of peace, and the conviction that death is not the end. The pharmacist recovered and spoke of the light for the rest of his life, convinced that he had seen the world to come.

For his part, du Monchaux, the rational physician, tried to explain the vision scientifically, suggesting that an excess of blood flow to the brain during illness could produce such mystical feelings. His explanation did not diminish the account's importance; it only proved that a great mind had been forced to take the experience seriously. It became the first time a physician formally recorded and discussed a near-death experience in the medical literature. If you have ever wondered how long people have been reporting these experiences, listen to the pharmacist who saw heaven's light in 1740, nearly two centuries before the modern NDE was named.
