January 9, 2019

A Nebraska man's children said their final goodbyes and made the difficult decision to pull the plug after their father was declared brain dead by doctors.

But the "miracle man" had different plans.

After being unconscious for more than 48 hours, T. Scott Marr unexpectedly woke up after his doctors thought there was no hope of recovery and his breathing tubes were pulled out.

 

"This whole thing has been a miracle from God," Marr told KMTV. "I did not die. I didn't have to die. I'm back here, and I hope to give people some comfort and hope that if they are, in fact, going through anything like that, that it's a safe place."

In the two days Marr was unconscious, he said he had a near-death experience: he saw his late father walking along the street.

"He said, 'What are you doing here?' And I said I'm looking to work and he said, 'There's no work here, you better get your butt home,'" Marr told local reporters.

Marr is currently recovering at home after weeks of therapy at an Omaha hospital.

"I'm not an extremely religious person. I don't go to church every Sunday," Marr told the World-Herald. "But I do believe in God. I believe with all my heart. And now this is just proof for me that everything I've ever heard is true. That he loves me. That he's right there for me. It was pretty much a miracle."
