After 4 flatlines, Saskatoon father struggles to live: "It’s true what they say about dying"

Darren Mathieu has been struggling to get his life back on track and reconnect with his now 13-year-old daughter after surviving four cardiac arrests and three comas following major pancreatic failure.

In 2020, Mathieu struggle to cope with grief following the loss of his mother and began neglecting his diabetic medication, leading to a diabetic coma and pancreatic failure. He would experience multiple brushes with death during his hospitalization. Mathieu says the fourth cardiac arrest left him with a vivid memory of 'the other side.'

"That is when I found out it is all true what they say about dying. At some point, I lost consciousness and when I woke up I was in this very large white field, where I was floating, and there were shadow figures all around me," Mathieu said. 

Ever since his near-death experience, Mathieu has slowly been recovering, but two-and-a-half years later he is still suffering from long-term effects. He lives with only a third of his pancreas, his memory is no longer the same and he occasionally has balance issues so severe he knocks into walls. Even now, he has trouble walking around, doing housework or digesting food.
