I didnt have a pulse.Youre here, youre not. I thought: Wow, you dont even have your memories. You have nothing. Strange porridge, the Scarface actor said of his near-death experience.Within minutes, an ambulance showed up at Pacinos home and he regained consciousness with six paramedics and two doctors in his living room, he said. They had these outfits on that looked like they were from outer space or something, he told the paper. It was kind of shocking to open your eyes and see that. Everybody was around me, and they said: Hes back. Hes here.In an interview with People, Pacino recounted coming back to consciousness with a sense of confusion. I looked around and I thought, What happened to me?Pacino said he questions whether he actually died, despite everybody thinking he was dead. I thought I experienced death. I might not have. I dont think I have, really. I know I made it, he said.Pacino credited his great assistant for immediately contacting the paramedics when his nurse confirmed that he no longer had a pulse.He got the people coming, because the nurse that was taking care of me said, I dont feel a pulse on this guy, Pacino recalled.Asked if the health scare changed the way he lives his life, Pacino told People: Not at all. I didnt see the white light or anything. Theres nothing there, he explained. As Hamlet says, To be or not to be; The undiscovered country from whose bourn, no traveler returns. And he says two words: no more. It was no more, added Pacino.Youre gone. Id never thought about it in my life. But you know actors: It sounds good to say I died once. What is it when theres no more?Pacinos experience is detailed in his autobiography, Sonny Boy, to be published on Tuesday, October 8. The post Al Pacino reveals he nearly d!ed of COVID-19 and gives his thoughts on the afterlife appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
