I don't know. It could be inspired by real-life events but transformed into a fictional narrative for entertainment purposes. Without more information, it's difficult to determine if it's truly based on a real story.
Well, it's hard to say. Sometimes stories claim to be true but have elements of fiction mixed in. Maybe there's a kernel of truth, but it might be embellished for dramatic effect.
Well, perhaps it could be like this. There was a situation where someone was facing extreme danger, like a terminal illness. But this 'near - death' experience made them reevaluate their life. They changed their lifestyle completely, got away from bad habits, and in a way, this encounter with death actually led them to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Maybe in the story, a near - death experience led to a change that was positive, like realizing what's truly important and thus'saving' the person in a sense.
In some cases, a person could be in a dangerous situation like being in a war zone or a place with high crime rates. A situation where death was very likely. But that experience made them find the strength within to escape or change their circumstances. Maybe they moved to a safer place and started anew. So, the constant presence of death in that true story actually pushed them to save their own life.
Sure. There was a man who was a heavy smoker and drinker. One day, he had a heart attack that almost killed him. After that, he was so scared of dying that he completely quit smoking and drinking. His near - death experience (the 'death' that came close) saved his life by making him give up those harmful habits.
