Summary

Closer to the Light documents real-life accounts of near death experiences in children.[4] Morse had previously theorized that near death experiences came from drugs administered during attempts to save someone's life.[5] He conducted a study to determine which drugs caused such experiences but abandoned it after what he believes were believable reports of near death experiences. The results of the study were first published in 1986 in the American Journal of Disease in Children,[5] with Closer to the Light documenting the study and other accounts of near death experiences in children in 1991.[4]
