1923 an actress Danielle Vasinova she legally died for three minutes while battling COVID-19 in December 2019, and she’s telling her story.
“I didn’t see the light or the tunnel but they say it can come back to you in flashbacks,” Vasinova, 42, who is due to appear in the future Yellowstone spinoff The Madisonby People in an interview published on Thursday, December 19.
He continued, “However, I began to see many numbers of angels everywhere. I would see sequences like 5555, 7777. It was strange, but something was telling me, ‘There is something more for you. You weren’t supposed to go again. You’re supposed to do something else.’”
Vasinova recalled thinking she had the flu when she visited an urgent care facility in downtown Los Angeles.
“They decided it was strep and sent me home with some antibiotics. But by the next day, I could barely walk. My legs wouldn’t move. It was strange,” he said.
By the time Vasinova’s uncle rushed her to the emergency room at 2 am, she felt like she was “going to die.” Her heart stopped beating for three full minutes. An ER nurse made repeated attempts to revive her, and eventually found a heartbeat. Vasinova was then put into an induced coma.
“I had total organ failure,” he explained. “I went young and healthy to this infection that suddenly completely took over my body. It came forward, and it rocked my world.”
Surviving the near-death experience left Vasinova feeling “so much more connected” to life.
“It’s hard to even describe how I feel,” she said. “This felt like the turning point in my life. The death, and the rebirth. I know to take nothing for granted. Life is so precious and such a gift. We are here to do some good in the world, to be of service, and to be forever grateful.”
Vasinova had the opportunity to directly thank the ER nurse who managed to revive her.
“I found out her name was Ruby, so I went back to the hospital with a bracelet with a little ruby in it just to say, ‘Thank you for saving my life,'” he said. “I didn’t know if she was going to recognize me, but when she opened the door, I started to cry, and she lost it. She told me that she never knows who lives or dies after they are transferred. She gave me the biggest hug. Because I was gone for a full three minutes. But I came back.”
With the health scare behind her, Vasinova is looking towards the future. It took to Instagram on Tuesday, December 17, to share her excitement about joining the cast The Madisonwhich is currently in production and is expected to premiere in 2025.
“So proud to be joining this tremendous cast and this truly special project. many thanks to (Yellowstone cocreator) Taylor (Sheridan) for everything and for welcoming me into the @yellowstone family,” he wrote.
Vasinova will play Kestrel, “a native woman married to a Montana rancher who lives with her family in a double-wide trailer on their ranch,” per Variety.
