In the clip, seen over five million occasions , she remarked: "This is one of those inexplicable phenomena. From my own experiences assisting individuals in their final moments, reaching toward someone or something overhead occurs very frequently."

'This can often be linked to what we refer to as end-of-life visions or other related end-of-life experiences.'

When people express witnessing someone or something, frequently they refer to an angel, occasionally it’s a brilliant light.

Very often, people mention it being a close relative, family member, or pet who passed away earlier.

Snippets of individuals during their last days have been extensively circulated on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.

In response to Ms Duncan's video, TikTok users shared their personal stories.

Ms Duncan also stated: "What ought we do regarding this phenomenon? Absolutely nothing. It's one of those enigmatic aspects of the end-of-life process that we have the privilege to observe."
