Danielle Vasinova "died for three minutes" when she had Covid.
The 42-year-old actress' world was rocked after being stricken with the virus that forced her to be hospitalised in December 2019 after thinking she was "coming down with the flu" – and while bed-bound her heart stopped for three minutes and started to see "a lot of angel numbers everywhere".
She told People about her scare: "On Dec. 12, 2019, I died for three minutes... I didn't see the light or a tunnel but they say it can come back to you in flashbacks.
"I did, however, start to see a lot of angel numbers everywhere. 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.'"
Beforehand, the Yellowstone spin-off '1923' star could hardly move and in the early hours of the morning, her uncle dashed her to the emergency room.
Danielle added: "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."
An ER nurse called Ruby continued to try and revive her, and a pulse was later found before the brunette beauty went to the intensive care unit and was put into an induced coma.
She said: "I had complete organ failure.
"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."
As a result of the experience, the Emmy award-nominated actress is "much more connected" and takes "nothing for granted".
Danielle admitted: "It's hard to even describe how I feel, but I'm so much more connected.
"This felt like the turning point in my life. The death, and the rebirth. 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."
After finding out about Ruby, Danielle went back to the hospital where she gave her a big hug and gifted a bracelet with a ruby stone in it to say "thank you for saving my life".
