Near death experiences?

[Pendragon]

I knew a man who died on the operating table. He described floating above his body and looking down at himself on the table, and he began to feel flames licking at his feet and said he knew he was on his way to hell. This was at a time when he was attending our church.

That's all I recall of his story; I was a teenager when he told it during a testimony at our church so I don't remember any details beyond that. The man was a very gruff and quiet individual, not given to wild stories and tall tales. He was someone I would never imagine telling a lie or embellishing the truth. He has since passed away.
