We know we are dead when we die because our brains keep working to make us aware of what's happening around us, haunting new research suggests.

Top medical experts have forever been at loggerheads over what happens when humans die, with anecdotal evidence of bright lights and flashes reported by people who have 'come back' being the cause of much debate.

However, a new study suggests your consciousness carries on functioning after your heart stops beating and your body movements fail.

This means you are essentially 'trapped' inside your dead body with your brain still working, if only for a short time.

Survivors of cardiac arrest were aware of what was going on around them while they were 'dead' before being 'brought back to life', the study revealed.

More surprising still, there is evidence to suggest the deceased may even hear themselves being pronounced dead by doctors.

Dr. Sam Parnia is studying consciousness after death and examining cardiac arrest cases in Europe and the US.

He says people in the first phase of death may still experience some form of consciousness.

The expert ventured that people who have survived cardiac arrest later accurately described what was happening around them after their hearts stopped beating.

He said: "They'll describe watching doctors and nurses working, they'll describe having awareness of full conversations, of visual things that were going on, that would otherwise not be known to them."

Explaining when a patient is officially declared dead, he said: "It's all based on the moment when the heart stops.

"Technically speaking, that's how you get the time of death."

His study is examining what happens to the brain after a person goes into cardiac arrest - and whether consciousness continues after death and for how long - to improve the quality of resuscitation and prevent brain injuries while restarting the heart.

Unlike the plot in Flatliners, however, when a person is resuscitated they don't return with a "magical enhancement" of their memories, said Dr. Parnia.

Paris terror attack hero helped save Notre Dame artifacts, mayor says

From CNN's Rob Picheta

A Paris chaplain who tended to victims of the 2015 terror attack in the city has been hailed as a hero once more, after he reportedly entered the burning Notre Dame cathedral to rescue priceless relics from the blaze.

Jean-Marc Fournier, the chaplain of Paris fire service, entered the cathedral with firefighters to help salvage some of the priceless artifacts held in the building, the Paris 15th district mayor Philippe Goujon told reporters on Tuesday.

Fournier had previously held prayers and assisted victims after terrorists killed 130 people in attacks throughout the French capital in November 2015.

A number of relics were rescued during Monday's devastating fire, which tore through and destroyed parts of the 850-year-old church.

They include the Crown of Thorns, which some believe was placed on the head of Christ and which the cathedral calls its "most precious and most venerated relic."

He has been praised as a hero throughout social media for his bravery after Etienne Loraillère, the director of the French Catholic television network KTO, posted a picture of Fournier and commended the chaplain.

Restoration expert says it will take 10 to 15 years to fully restore Notre Dame Cathedral

From CNN's Samuel Quashie-Idun in London

The full restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral will take between "10 to 15 years," according to Frédéric Létoffé, the head of the group of companies for the Restoration of Historic Monuments.

Létoffé, speaking at a news conference in Paris on Tuesday, said the site will need to be secured before any restoration work can take place.

"This will require a lot of work since, beyond shoring and reinforcement, it will be necessary to build a scaffolding with an umbrella to be able to cover the entire roof that went missing, to ensure protection against weathering" he said.

How one artist responded to the cathedral fire

As Notre Dame Cathedral burned, Cristina Correa Freile channeled her own emotion by imagining how the church's most famous fictional denizen - its hunchbacked bell ringer - might have responded to the calamity.

She drew Quasimodo, the Disney cartoon version, embracing the iconic Paris landmark - complete with twin towers. She posted her drawing Monday on Instagram, where it quickly went viral and earned more than 160,000 social media supporters.

"I made (this) because of what's happening right now," said the architect and illustrator, who lives in Ecuador. "The world embraces Notre Dame right now."

The physically deformed Quasimodo is the central character of Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," which tells the tale of his obsession with the beautiful Esmeralda. The story was told on the big screen in 1939, then Disney remade it in 1996 as a cartoon.

Trump calls Macron after the fire

President Trump spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone call this morning to offer condolences for the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

"The United States stands with French citizens, the city of Paris, and the millions of visitors from around the world who have sought solace in that iconic structure," she said.
Sanders added:

"The Cathedral has served as a spiritual home for almost a millennium, and we are saddened to witness the damage to this architectural masterpiece. Notre Dame will continue to serve as a symbol of France, including its freedom of religion and democracy. France is the oldest ally of the United States, and we remember with grateful hearts the tolling of Notre Dame's bells on September 12, 2001, in solemn recognition of the tragic September 11th attacks on American soil. Those bells will sound again. We stand with France today and offer our assistance in the rehabilitation of this irreplaceable symbol of Western civilization. Vive la France!"

There are no trees in France that are big enough to rebuild Notre Dame's roof

From CNN's Arnaud Siad

There are not any trees in France that are large enough to replace the ancient Beachwood beams that burned in the Notre Dame fire, Bertrand de Feydeau, vice president of the French Heritage Foundation (Fondation du Patrimoine), told CNN.

"The roof was made of beechwood beams over 800 years ago. There are no longer trees of that size in France," he said.

Asked if any trees in Europe were big enough for the beams and could be imported to Paris, he said, "I don't know."

Ryan Fitzpatrick had a birthday cake a while ago. Now, he is blaming the cake for a little weight gain.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ryan Fitzpatrick didn't adopt the South Beach Diet along with his move to Miami.

As the Dolphins pressed forward with offseason conditioning, the new quarterback explained he needs the workouts after a smorgasbord of birthday cake had him a bit pudgy around the midriff.

"The thing with me is I have seven kids, so in January we have three birthdays. We've got a family birthday party, which includes cake and then we've got a friend's birthday party which includes cake," Fitzpatrick said, via the Miami Herald. "So, that's six times in January. We've got three birthdays in March -- March 1st, March 6th and March 11th -- which again, that's a tough stretch. That's cake six out of 10 or 11 days. Then we've got an April birthday. So, it doesn't slow down.

"But now that the birthdays are behind me, and I think I'm going to try to go from peak offseason form maybe down to peak in-season form, I'll be OK."

Reactions: 1. Philip Rivers scoffs at Fitzpatrick only having seven kids. 2. Someone needs to add "Eats Cake" to the famous Ryan Fitzpatrick Cycle graphic.

At 36-years-old, the journeyman quarterback has earned the right to have his cake in the offseason, especially after the record-setting start he had to last year's campaign.

FitzMagic carrying a few extra pounds in April will not change the fortunes of the rebuilding Dolphins. But it is a reminder that while for the most part, NFL players don't lead normal lives like the rest of us, sometimes, just like you, they crave some birthday cake.

The beverage company designed the drink bottles, which are available for Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and Dasani water, to appear with a scuffed, rusted label written in Aurebesh - a language featured in the film franchise.

"When we first approached Coca-Cola and shared the idea of bringing their products into the Star Wars galaxy in a new and unique way, they immediately saw the opportunity to give our guests the refreshing drinks they love in a way that maintained the authenticity of the story - which is very important to us - and that was, frankly, just plain cool," said Scott Trowbridge, portfolio creative executive and studio leader of Walt Disney Imagineering, in a press release.

Though you don't have to travel to a galaxy far, far away, you do have to visit either California or Florida as the bottles are only available in the 14-acre "Star Wars" lands.

The unique Coke bottles are just part of the park's specialty menu. Disney announced previously that it will have "Star Wars"-themed food and drink available to maintain a truly immersive experience, such as blue and green milk, "ronto wraps" and desserts painted like planets.

A man suspected of using a samurai sword to kill his girlfriend last year at a survivalist bunker loaded with guns and ammo in northwest Washington was found dead in California, officials revealed Tuesday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man suspected of using a samurai sword to kill his girlfriend last year at a survivalist bunker loaded with guns and ammo in northwest Washington was found dead in California, officials revealed Tuesday.

The Island County Sheriff's Office said in a news release posted to Facebook a body pulled from the Feather River in Yuba City, California on April 7, 2018 has been identified as 35-year-old Jacob Gonzales.

The body was initially classified as a "John Doe" until November when investigators shared photos of tattoos on the body that led to tips that initially identified the body as Gonzales'.

Officials were eventually able to send DNA to a lab in California, which made the positive identification. Officials have not revealed a cause of death.
CAR BELONGING TO DECAPITATED WOMAN FOUND IN CALIFORNIA, CHARGES FILED IN SURVIVALIST BUNKER CASE
Gonzales had been sought by authorities in connection with the murder of 26-year-old Katherine Cunningham, whose decapitated body was discovered on March 3, 2018, near a survivalist bunker on the rural Camano Island, north of Seattle.

Near the headless corpse, investigators discovered a bunker dug into a hillside containing supplies, guns and ammo. Autopsy findings determined the 26-year-old woman's cause of death was "homicidal violence with decapitation," according to the coroner's office.

"The subsequent investigation revealed that Katherine had been murdered on February 14th or 15th," the sheriff's office said Tuesday.
DECAPITATED BODY FOUND NEAR REMOTE AMMO-FILLED SURVIVALIST BUNKER IN WASHINGTON, POLICE SAY
Cunningham's vehicle was found abandoned on Interstate 5 in Yreka, Calif., roughly 560 miles away on Feb. 16 and towed three days later by the California Highway Patrol, before her body was discovered.

"After Katherine was discovered, an attempt to locate was put out on her missing vehicle and the California Highway Patrol notified the Island County Sheriff's Office that they had the vehicle," police said. "Deputies from the Island County Sheriff's Office recovered the vehicle from California and towed it back to Washington where Detectives obtained a search warrant."

Inside the vehicle, authorities discovered a samurai sword wrapped in a blanket that appeared to match the type of weapon used in the killing. Testing of the sword also found Cunningham's DNA on the blade and Gonzales' DNA on the handle, according to the sheriff's office.

Authorities had been seeking Gonzales since March on a $1 million warrant. He was previously charged with 5 counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and one count of motor vehicle theft.

The sheriff's office thanked the various agencies and tips from the public that helped with the investigation, and officials thanked the victim's family.

"We would also like to thank Katherine's family for their patience and their tireless efforts to keep Katherine in the public's thoughts," officials said.

Quarterback forecasts for Patrick Mahomes, Philip Rivers, Andrew Luck, Kyler Murray...and more quick hits from around the leag

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1. The $45 million man?
This is, without question, the era of the big-money quarterback. Decades from now, when we look back at this period of NFL history, we will marvel at the money. The cash. The bucks. The lolly.

This list of average annual salaries, composed by The MMQB's Albert Breer, is simply staggering:

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer
Highest paid by APY ... June '16: Andrew Luck, $24.6M June '17: Derek Carr, $25.0M Sept. '17: Matthew Stafford, $27.0M Feb. '18: Jimmy Garoppolo, $27.5M March '18: Kirk Cousins, $28.0M May '18: Matt Ryan, $30.0M Aug. '18: Aaron Rodgers, $33.5M April '19: Russell Wilson, $35.0M

That's an increase of more than $10 million per year in just three years. At the time, Luck's deal was seen as huge. Now, it's like quarterback minimum wage.

The Wilson extension (four years, $140 million) is huge, but in just a few years, it will pale in comparison to what Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes will receive.

Based on Wilson's deal, and Rodgers', we could see Mahomes earn a five-year, $200 million deal, averaging $40 million a season.

The idea of a $40 million Mahomes was first brought up by ESPN's Adam Schefter. It seemed absurd at the time in January. But no longer. The Rodgers and Wilson deals show not only is that probable, it might also be low.

The number could actually be $45 million.

That's because the health of the NFL remains strong, and the league continues to increase the salary cap significantly every year (about $10 million a season). This gives teams more money to pay their most important players in the quarterbacks.

Mahomes was drafted in 2017 and is eligible for an extension after this coming season. Teams are often nervous about giving players bank vaults full of cash so soon after they're eligible, but Mahomes will be the exception. He's proved not just to be one of the most explosive and game-changing players in all of sports, but he's also studious and grounded.

So, yes, Wilson's contract is immense and also well-deserved.

It's also possible Mahomes' deal will blow it out of the water.
2. Wilson's greatness
A few pieces of Russell Wilson data, courtesy of NFL Research, that are somewhat staggering:

69 passing touchdowns since 2017 (most in the NFL).

75 quarterback wins in the first seven seasons (most in NFL history).

A 100.3 passer rating (second-highest ever).

The third-most rushing yards by a quarterback in his first seven seasons: Cam Newton, 4,320; Michael Vick, 3,954; Wilson, 3,651.

Third-most passing touchdowns in the first seven seasons in NFL history: Dan Marino, 220; Peyton Manning, 216; Russell Wilson, 196; Brett Favre, 182.

The most stunning part of all this data is the number of touchdowns in his first seven seasons. Wilson is only 20 behind Manning despite spending so much of his career in run-based offenses.
3. Next big vet QB deal will be Rivers
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers did not attend the start of the team's offseason program this week. It wasn't because of his contract or because his wife, Tiffany, had their 78th child; it was because of a family vacation.

But make no mistake: Rivers is getting an extension. His contract expires at the end of this season, and neither Rivers nor the Chargers want him going into the year without a new deal.

It'll happen. It's just a question of when.
4. A new Andrew Luck?
If you ask a lot of NFL players what one of their biggest offseason challenges is, they will tell you it's turning off their football brains and taking time away from the sport.

Players are high-achievers, and generally, those personalities have a difficult time stepping away. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is one of those players.

The team's general manager, Chris Ballard, challenged Luck to decompress, and as Mike Chappell of CBS4Indy.com notes, Luck accepted the challenge.

"He kind of challenged me to turn my mind off in a sense," Luck said. "It took a while, but I did get away. I feel refreshed. I got a chance to catch up with a lot of family and friends and folks, and obviously getting married. It was a very nice offseason."

If you're a Luck competitor, this is alarming. This should scare the hell out of you.

If he's learned to compartmentalize during the offseason and truly recharge and rest that big brain of his, we could see the most dangerous Luck yet.

One of the first conversations I had with a star player about how important it was to refresh his mind in the offseason, and not just his body, was with Hall of Fame Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan. He was one of the smartest, most driven and relentless players I've ever been around. Early in his career, he pushed himself constantly in the offseason with film study and worked almost as hard as he did during the season.

Then Strahan realized his mind needed a break too, and learning to step away from the sport, he believed, prolonged his career.

All NFL players are driven. It's what makes them special, but even among that elite group, there are some who work harder than others.

Luck, like Strahan, believed pushing himself constantly, even in the offseason, made him better. More than that, Luck had a hard time stopping himself from obsessing even when the games weren't being played.

"I couldn't get off that high, if that makes sense," Luck told Chappell. "Emotionally it felt weird not going to work for a while. It took a while to say, 'This is OK to reset.' But I do think it was necessary. Also a chance to regroup, refresh."

The challenge of offseason calmness isn't solely about the players putting pressure on themselves. There was a time, in the 1980s and before, when players disappeared for almost the entire offseason. They worked out but were mostly able to chill. In the decades before that, some even had jobs in the offseason.

When teams began requiring players to participate in extensive offseason programs, things changed. Things also changed as players began using more high-tech training methods year-round.

None of this is to say that Luck will now spend all of his offseasons in the pool drinking beer. He will still be the same driven guy. He might just do what he did this offseason, which is take a deep breath.

This could make Luck more dangerous than ever.
5. Cardinals still seem locked on Kyler Murray...
While some mock drafts are starting to show the Arizona Cardinals trading out of the No. 1 overall spot, everything still seems to point to them taking Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray.

Nothing is certain in the draft, and now comes my daily reminder that errrrrrrrrrybody lies around draft time. Yet Murray to the Cardinals seems like the safe bet.
6. ...but watch the Raiders
My belief is the Raiders are not totally sold on Derek Carr as their quarterback of the future. Every time I say this, Raiders fans get irritated and say bad things about my momma.

Yet general manager Mike Mayock and coach Jon Gruden consistently waffle on Carr. It also cannot be emphasized enough that this isn't their roster, and when Gruden traded Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper, he was making a statement that anyone can be usurped.

Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas-Review Journal reported the Raiders are expected to pass on a first-round quarterback. That might end up being true, but I find it difficult to believe they would rule that out now.

The Raiders have the fourth, 24th and 27th picks in the first round. They have a draft arsenal, and this allows them a great deal of flexibility. Few in the NFL would be surprised if they made a big move up for Ohio State's Nick Bosa or even Murray.
7. Will Jadeveon Clowney's contract get done?
The Texans pass-rusher was franchise-tagged by the team, and his tender is $15.967 million. That won't be enough for a player of his caliber, and as the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson notes,it isn't surprising Clowney is skipping the team's offseason workouts.

This situation should be watched closely. Clowney and his representatives have watched the deals of other great defensive linemen roll in. Mack signed a six-year, $141 million deal, and the Rams' Aaron Donald signed a six-year, $135 million contract.

Clowney is just as impactful as both of those players. He's one of only a handful of defensive stars who affects a game almost like a quarterback.

He will be looking not to get paid but to get paid. Just as he should.
8. Chiefs still waiting on Tyreek Hill case
Tyreek Hill joined the Chiefs this week for their offseason workouts as local authorities investigate an alleged battery of his three-year-old son at Hill's home. The NFL continues to wait for the conclusion of those investigators and then will make its own decision on punishment, if any. It's possible the league will also conduct its own investigation at some point.

The bottom line is that Hill will be with the team until there's some type of official conclusion to this case.

No one in the league (I believe including the Chiefs) has a clue what the investigation is finding. We will likely all know soon enough.
9. NFL players pushing for change
Doug Baldwin Jr @DougBaldwinJr
I agree that discipline is a vital tool in teaching our children how to be healthy and productive members of society. But I believe we must be more intentional and compassionate in our approach. #EndCorporalPunishment @playercoalition https://t.co/qHPty8FrIc

Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin and Saints linebacker Demario Davis wrote an op-ed for TheHill.com opposing corporal punishment in schools.

First, I didn't even know there was still corporal punishment in schools. Second, it's a really well-reasoned and smart piece.

There continue to be players who use their power to affect societal change. Sometimes we don't acknowledge this enough.
10. Saquon's influence
We know the influence Tiger Woods has had not just on golf but also on American sports.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley isn't as much of an influencer (few humans are), but Barkley has impacted more than just Giants fans. He's got a fan in Woods' caddie, Joe LaCava.

LaCava wore a Barkley jersey under his jumpsuit (is that the proper word?...seems like a very 1960s word) during Woods' Masters win Sunday. He's a huge New York sports fan.

After the Giants win the Super Bowl this season, maybe Barkley can wear a LaCava jersey.

1. The $45 million man? This is, without question, the era of the big-money quarterback. Decades from now, when we look back at this period of NFL history, we will marvel at the money. The cash. The bucks. The lolly.
