'Yellowstone' Spinoff Star Danielle Vasinova Says She Died for 3 Minutes Amid Sickness
Danielle Vasinova is opening up about battling illness.
The 42-year-old 1923 and The Madison actress revealed that she died for three minutes while battling COVID-19 in December 2019, months before the global shutdowns.
“I thought I was coming down with the flu,” she explained to People.
“I went to urgent care in downtown L.A., and they decided it was strep and sent me home with some antibiotics. But by the next day, I could barely walk. My legs wouldn’t move. It was bizarre.”

Later that night, her uncle took her to the emergency room.
“I felt like I was going to die. He said people were running around me, and a tiny girl jumped on top of my chest and began pumping, pumping, pumping. And then he saw my heartbeat on the monitor just go. Flatlined,” Danielle said, adding that she did for three minutes before being revived and put into an induced coma.
“I had complete organ failure,” she explained. “I went from young and healthy to this infection that completely took over my body all of a sudden. It just came on, and it just rocked my world.”
Danielle says she “didn’t see the light or a tunnel.”
“I did, however, start to see a lot of angel numbers everywhere,” she added. “I would see sequences like 5555, 7777. It was bizarre, but something was telling me, ‘There’s something more for you. You weren’t meant to go just yet. You’re meant to do something else.’”
Now, she refers to her “rebirth” as a “turning point.”
“I know to take nothing for granted. Life is so precious and it is such a gift. We’re here to do some good in the world, to be of service, and to be forever grateful,” she concluded.
