He died — not once, but three times… and in unusual ways.
In this jaw-dropping episode of Round Trip Death, guest Cedar Branches takes us deep into an extraordinary Near Death Experience that defies belief: a deliberate leap off a bridge during a spiritual crisis, followed by what he calls a full-on resurrection.

This isn’t just any NDE Experience — Cedar describes crossing into an infinite sea of unconditional love, a place that felt like “home,” before being sent back with three electrifying messages from Spirit: it takes more courage to live than to die, we can affect far more in life than in death, and his work on Earth wasn’t finished yet.
From a corporate career at Microsoft to starvation-induced visions to a literal bridge jump, Cedar’s journey is one of the most intense NDE stories you’ll hear — raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically real.
This is an NDE story about suffering, transformation, and the electrifying truth waiting on the other side. Don’t miss this one.
Note: this episode discusses suicide and self-harm. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available for support.

Thanks to Eric, Will and Cedar. 🌉
Critical care physician Laurin Bellg has shared the Near Death Experience of Chester (not his real name) who was a 74-year-old retired foundry worker who'd had a heart attack. He was first resuscitated in the Appleton, Wisconsin, hospital ER and then transferred to the ICU where Dr. Bellg worked. He had 3 more cardiac arrests over the next 2 days, despite it having been determined that his coronary arteries were completely clean and that his heart was now working properly. The medical team struggled to stabilize his heart rhythm with medications and a defibrillator. Later, it was discovered that Chester had developed pulmonary fibrosis during his working life. During a follow-up hospital visit, he spontaneously told Dr. Bellg about his Near Death Experience.
Dr. Bellg writes: "Chester found he could also perceive thought and hear conversations between loved ones from a great distance away. He recalled a distinct conversation between his wife and daughter that, based on the subject matter, was later corroborated and found to have been held down the hall in the family waiting room, well out of earshot of the ICU. They were discussing an unusual tree just beyond the waiting room window—its odd shape, fringy foliage, and distinct reddish color …he never saw it visually, and there is really no way he could have from where he was in the ICU or where he was when he left the hospital. …He heard them discussing the possibility of taking some leaves from the tree to try to identify it. He also heard them laughing about whether or not it would be considered theft of hospital property if they just took a small cutting. His wife and daughter were shocked when he recounted the conversation to them. …He had also heard his two-year-old grandson fussing and crying, then laughing and talking about a green tractor knocking down a wall he had assembled from a set of blocks. His daughter confirmed she had bought the tractor for him in the hospital gift shop to keep him entertained while they waited and that he had been using it to knock over blocks. Again, this all took place in the waiting room, far removed from where Chester lay tenuously trying to stay in a normal heart rhythm."
In personal correspondence with researchers, Dr. Bellg added that she'd verified these details with Chester, his wife, and his daughter.
What a sweet soul Cedar is! I really enjoyed his testimony, especially the part where he said that all the greatest gifts in his life have come through suffering. What a great perspective! I hope that inspires others as much as it inspired me. 🙏💙
Good interview
Before this interview, I had some trust in your channel.
This man is clearly mentally unstable.
This is the very thing that causes people to commit suicide.
He has glorified over and over.
This is a very dangerous episode
The dark spirit is who told you to jump.
Hello it happened to me as well. Back than I wasnt fully consciuness that my guides were "attempting my life". It may seems dark spirits but in reality all they see is a shortcut, your guest didnt explain this very well. Pain is temporary, they dont live pain like we do. They can see how the actions develop in the future and change it, knowing that cannot happen anything that truly block your way. Thinking that ur guides only choose to make u go only for painless experiences because this is what u understood about love is spiritual very naive. You came here in this planet choosing pain in the first place.
The only way to overcome pain is to experience it before and face it. Not looking away when it happens
I empathize with his situation. But the “bouncing” camera is unwatchable
Happy birthday young man ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Cedar Branches?
His parents were probably Ash and Willow!
happy birthday😋❤🌹🍰🎂🎂🍡🎈🎈☕
Cedar branches 😂😂😂
Thank you Cedar for such beautiful spiritual journey of your life. I can see that you become enlightened with spiritual knowledge. Please spread love and compassion to all beings ❤❤❤
Spirit said jump? Never heard spirit endorse suicide. I think this is psychosis,. I don’t believe this story. Evidence from witnesses would be good. It should not have been posted.
Auto writing can invite demons into you life.
when he said everybody has their own lessons and we dont have to take the responsibility for it, but we can be there with our love and support, that helped me to hear. God bless you and your birthday.
This guy is a nut case!!!
There are people who you wish WOULDN'T pursue spirituality, for their own sake. I understand wanting to give on a bigger scale, but he definitely could have spent more Earth-time learning how to love himself and his own life – and get grounded, instead of focusing on teaching humanity and listening to spirit(s).
Thank you🙏🏼💕
Happy Birthday , Cedar .❤
Liar
God bless you 🙏 I hope you have the support you need
This person never had a genuine NDE!?
You have a lot to be thankful for, live life. I believe you can.
A Tunisians woman was involved in some spiritual practice saw beings who told her to kill her daughter and her self . She succeeded in killing her daughter.and now she is on trial for murder. I don't think it's a good spirit who told him to jump
I believe there are evil entity's
Technically, why wobbly vids? I mean: Why? It's as if some people didn't grasp basics and weren't self-conscious enough, which implies that they are not aware that they confabulate, or are as simple-minded as to think they can lie and get away with it. I mean, the better the cover looks, the better the sales of the book is, whatever its contents is. Conmen overshoot with the preparation, one can catch it, but on the other end of the stick there are those who neglect the looks and hope for the best reception… nope, it work work this way either.
I have doubt about the validity of your channel now. How much vetting did you do on this guy.
Man, stop over- concentrating within yourself and your sick mind. Do good to people around you and be humble. You need a reality check.
This guy learned it the hard way all he had to do was go within, all answers are within. Listen to your heart you don't need any religion.
I believe him, that spirit asked him to jump so he could show him resurrection. I also believe that mankind will have a spiritual death and be resurrected spiritually and physically. It will be a process. The physical grave will be no more. Very interesting and profound
