Netflix's new documentary series, Surviving Death, has got everyone talking at the moment, as it delves into the age old question: 'What happens when you die?'
The six-part series - based on Leslie Kean's popular book of the same name - looks at various explanations to this mystery, speaking - among others - to those who have had near death experiences, mediums and those who believe they have been reincarnated.
Check out the trailer below:
The show also calls upon experts to examine the claims of its case studies, and point out any trends that may crop up (we're talking tunnels of light, hovering above hospital beds and heavenly teachers), balancing this against more scientific understandings of death.

One particularly powerful case study is of a woman named Mary Neal, who claims she 'died for 30 minutes' in a drowning accident, after falling off a kayak.
Mary then claims she entered another heavenly dimension, laden with flowers every colour the eye could see. She also claims she spoke to some wise beings, who told her her son would die young - a claim which tragically turned out to come true.
The mum-of-four, from Jackson Hole, New York, was underwater for over 30 minutes, and was clinically dead before she came back to life upon he rescue from the accident.
She says in the show: "Twenty years ago I was not only physically dead, but dead for a long time.
