Boy Who Claimed He died And Went to Heaven Recants Story

Alex Malarkey                                                                                                                   

In 2004, Alex Malarkey had a car crash that left him paralyzed and put him in a coma for 2 months. When he woke up, he amazed doctors and his parents with a tale of how an Angel had lifted him up to heaven where he met Jesus and Satan. Alex, now 16, has recently come out to say his story was bogus and that the best selling book 'The boy who came back form heaven"  he co-authored with his dad Kevin is based on a lie.

He says he concocted the tale in an attempt to attract attention after his ordeal - and is now criticizing publishers who continue to make large profits from the book

Jesus (no pun intended)! I can only imagine the heartbreak of many who believed this story. His tales probably touched the lives of many by giving them hope .
