The newest member of Joe Biden’s extended family, Dr. Mary C. Neal, believes she went to heaven in 1999 when she “drowned” while kayaking.
The No. 1 best-seller published in 2011 tells the story of Neal “dying” and coming back to life when she kayaked down a waterfall in Chile’s Fuy River.
The mom said dying felt “curiously blissful.” As the other people on the expedition rushed to find her and save her, Neal said she went to heaven.

I love my husband and I love each of my children with great intensity, and that love is reciprocated. It’s just that God’s world is exponentially more colorful and intense,” she said.
The rescuers “begged me to come back and take a breath, I felt compelled to return to my body and take another breath before returning to my journey,” she wrote. “This became tiresome, and I grew quite irritated with their repeated calling. “I believe Jesus was holding me, comforting me, and reassuring me when I was drowning,” she said — but ultimately it was not her time to go to heaven.After being resuscitated, Neal said she was badly injured and had to get to the road. That’s when “several young Chilean men materialized out of nowhere,” who she later realized were “angels by the river.”
Neal went on to write her memoir, and a second book titled “7 Lessons from Heaven: How Dying Taught Me How to Live a Joy-Filled Life.” She was also featured on the Netflix show “Surviving Death.”
