I Shouldn’t Be Alive | Season 5 Episode 3 - The Man Who Came Back to Life on Everest

Australian mountaineer Lincoln Hall returns to Mount Everest 22 years after his first failed attempt, finally fulfilling his lifelong dream of reaching the summit at age 50. But the triumph turns to tragedy on the descent when he is struck by cerebral edema, a deadly high-altitude swelling of the brain that causes him to hallucinate and lose all motor control. With their oxygen running out and night falling, his Sherpa guides are forced to make the heartbreaking decision to leave him behind in the "Death Zone" at 28,000 feet, and he is officially pronounced dead to his grieving family.
