Sutherland tells of 'death experience'

Donald Sutherland saw "the white light" when he died for a "few seconds" while filming 'Kelly's Heroes'.

The 76-year-old actor played the part of Sergeant Oddball in the 1970 comedy/war film, and during the middle of shooting he was hit with a bout of spinal meningitis, causing him to go into a coma and he admits he "dug his feet in" so as not to pass away.
