Kerry Packer was the richest man in Australia.Kerry needed a kidney transplant,so had one (donated by a friend).
During the operation,Kerry died fora few minutes. Shortly after the operation, Kerry was interviewed on prime time TV. I saw the interview. Kerry said "There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is there is no hell. The bad news is there is no heaven either; there's nothing"
A few years later,Kerry became very ill again,he said (literally, he was very colourful) "Fuck it!",refused treatment and died.
