"This is my story"

On December 18, 2011, Breedlove released a 2-part video on YouTube, entitled "This is my story." Using note cards, he explained about his heart condition, as well as the impact it had on his life. He also mentioned three near-death experiences.^[6]

"I was at school, walking in the hall. I could tell I was going to faint, so I sat on a bench. I passed out. The next thing I know, I woke up with EMS around me. I couldn't talk or move, I could only watch what they were doing. They put the shock pads on my chest. I heard one of them say 'They are ready'. And the other guy said 'Go!'. I passed out again. My heart stopped and I wasn't breathing for 3 minutes."

Breedlove on the third time he "cheated death".^[7]

In the video, Breedlove describes the first time he "cheated" death, which was at the age of 4 when he had a life-threatening seizure.^[6] He goes on to describe an experience he had in a hospital while being wheeled on a stretcher, "There was this big bright light above me ... I couldn't make out what is was because it was so bright. I told my mom, 'Look at the bright light' and pointed up. She said she didn't see anything."^[2]^[4]^[7]

On May 3, 2009, Breedlove underwent surgery to insert a pacemaker.^[2] The pacemaker helped regulate his heart beat and gave him more energy.

[edit]Death and aftermath

Breedlove died from cardiac arrest on the night of Christmas Day at his parents' home where family and friends were gathering for Christmas dinner.^[4] Paramedics rushed him to the hospital but were unable to resuscitate him.^[2]
