'It's a Miracle': Hollywood Actor's Near-Death Story

Описание: For actor Jesse Hutch, a near-death experience changed absolutely everything. Hutch, who stars in the new film "Homestead," wasn't always gracing the big and small screens. He told CBN News about a time early on in his life when he was a seasoned whitewater raft guide and found himself faced with a deadly encounter. "Through a series of events, [I] ended up underwater ... and just couldn't get out," Hutch, who was 21 years old at the time of his near-drowning, said.

He was under the water for anywhere from 11 to 22 minutes with no oxygen. In the majority of situations, this would result in death, but, in Hutch's case, a miracle unfolded. "I still remember it quite vividly, and it's a miracle that I'm actually alive, breathing, talking," he said. "I can think, I can walk, I have a family — that I'm even an actor, that I can remember things. Because, in all reality, without oxygen anywhere from 11 to 22 minutes, I should be completely gone. Both my eardrums should be completely blown."

While Hutch did experience some medical issues surrounding breathing and his ears — and had to have "a little bit of surgery" to remedy the impact — he is mostly fine decades after the accident. Hutch described the ordeal of being under water with no escape as the "most peaceful and yet the scariest" time of his life. At first, he tried to stay calm, but he soon realized amid uncertainty that the situation was grim. He recalled going limp to try and conserve energy.

"Then you start to kind of go through the emotional aspect of it a little bit where you're like, 'OK, I logically know that ... my body's gonna want to breathe. How do I stop that?'" Hutch said. "And eventually you just come to the wall where you go, 'I'm done. ... I'm finished.' And I remember coming to that point where then it became spiritual, where I was like, 'OK, Lord. I'm finished. I can't do anything on my own power. I can't do anything in my own thought.'" Once that moment hit, the actor recalled everything going dark as he could hear his own heartbeat getting slower and slower. Here's his incredible miracle story.
