Alexander, a Christian, claims he took the journey to the afterlife when he slipped into a coma in 2008 after contracting bacterial meningitis.
His tale is the cover story on Newsweek's latest issue, which features the headline, "Heaven Is Real: A Doctor's Experience Of The Afterlife," the Huffington Post reported
Alexander describes the heaven he saw over the course of seven days in a coma in an article for the Daily Beast, a Newsweek affiliate.
"Toward the beginning of my adventure, I was in a place of clouds. Big, puffy, pink-white ones that showed up sharply against the deep blue-black sky," he wrote.

Alexander said that he traveled through this heaven, surrounded by "millions of butterflies," with a woman.
