The renowned Ohio child who claimed he visited heaven while in a coma finally revealed that the entire story was a fraud. Alex Malarkey was in a car accident when he was six years old, according to the Washington Post.

This left him paralyzed. When he recovered from his deep sleep, he told his family and doctors that he had arrived at Heaven’s gates. During his adventure, the boy claimed to have encountered Satan and Jesus, as well as seeing the wreckage of a car accident. Obviously, his story became a best-selling book named The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven, which he and his father, Kevin, co-wrote.

In the book, he describes the event as follows: “When I arrived in Heaven, I was inside the gate.” The gate was extremely tall and white. It was highly bright and appeared to have scales like a fish.

I was within Heaven, and everything was brighter and more powerful on the other side of the barrier. It was ideal. My favorite word to describe Heaven is “Perfect.” I said I went to Heaven because I felt it would draw attention to myself.

When I made the assertions that I did, I’d never read the Bible before. People have profited from lies and will continue to do so. They should read the Bible, which is sufficient. The Bible is the sole reliable source of information. Nothing written by man can be considered infallible.
