Helmut Gombocz (born 1948) is an Austrian (born) painter and philosopher. When he was only eleven, his father died leaving the family (understandably just after the war) in a precarious situation. Children in Austria then, were sent on summer "holidays" into the countryside, which gave his mother a welcome break from having to find the necessities to feed him etc as food was in short supply.
Helmut had two near death experiences which were directly related, the second from the first..but the former is only briefly explained as occurring after a fall from 30 feet up at the top of a hay barn, knocking him senseless and breaking his collar bone(s)
The second occurred after he'd been (eventually) sent to hospital to have his bones fixed and when he was given a big dose of ether to anaesthetise him.
It's not a typical NDE, there's no heavenly scenes described but nevertheless, it is very interesting and at around 18 minutes, even more so, definitely worth waiting for to hear his thoughts on what is important in life and what is not etc. (in his opinion of course)
As an aside, he seems to be quite well known as a painter and somehow became friendly with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which resulted in him opening a museum (with Arnie's portraits) in his honour.
