What facts do you have that enable you to reach your conclusion?
Because there are optional explanations that don't rely on the supernatural. While it is certainly possible that this young man saw Jesus, it is also possible that he saw the results of oxygen deprivation, or images caused by his brain misfiring during its attempt to shut down.
When confronted with a natural phenomenon (hallucination), natural explanations are always preferable to supernatural ones. One of your co-religionists sorted this out some seven centuries ago.
