Emergency medical technicians worked on Piper, trying to revive him. He was pronounced dead for an hour and a half, an EMT said.
"When I died I didn't float through a long dark tunnel I had no sense of fading away. A light enveloped me with a brilliance beyond Earthly comprehension or description in my next moment of awareness... I was standing in heaven," said Piper.
Almost every bone in Don Piper's body was broken, doctors said. He stayed in the hospital for over a year and underwent 34 surgeries.
Now, Piper speaks at churches across the country.
"I needed to tell people heaven is real. It is the most real thing I have ever seen, and even if you have had a great tragedy or enormous situation in your life you can have a meaningful life on the other side," Piper said.
Piper has written a book about his trip beyond, titled "90 Minutes in Heaven." With over 1 million copies sold, it is now a New York Times Best Seller.
Piper will be in Oklahoma June 3-6 speaking at a church in Lindsay
