Recalling the critical situation, the 84-year-old shared, “What happened was, I felt not good — unusually not good. Then I had a fever, and I was getting dehydrated and all that. So I got someone to get me a nurse to hydrate me.”

Explaining that there was an entire team of paramedics in a matter of minutes, he shared, “I was sitting there in my house, and I was gone. Like that. I didn’t have a pulse. In a matter of minutes they were there — the ambulance in front of my house. I had about six paramedics in that living room, and there were two doctors, and they had these outfits on that looked like they were from outer space or something. It was kind of shocking to open your eyes and see that. Everybody was around me, and they said: ‘He’s back. He’s here.'”

When asked if he experienced any “metaphysical ripples” on him, he said: “It actually did. I didn’t see the white light or anything. There’s nothing there. As Hamlet says, ‘To be or not to be’; 'The undiscovered country from whose bourn, no traveller returns.'And he says two words: ‘no more.’ It was no more. You’re gone. I’d never thought about it in my life. But you know actors: It sounds good to say I died once. What is it when there’s no more?”

Further, the multifaceted actorwent on to explain that with time and his age, he said, “It’s just the way it is. I didn’t ask for it. Just comes, like a lot of things just come.”
