Belfast man Stephen Bond collapsed with a cardiac arrest and said his wife Andrea's quick actions starting CPR saved his life
A mum-of-two has opened up on the "horrifying moment" she thought her husband would die in front of her after he collapsed with a cardiac arrest.
The couple were having a normal morning in their holiday home when Stephen, a strength and conditioning coach, collapsed. After a further half an hour of CPR and defibrillation from the paramedics, Stephen was taken to Antrim Area Hospital and into A&E where he was ventilated."We were told not to leave the hospital so I called our sons to come and say goodbye to their father. It was just awful.
He said: "I want to express my deep felt thanks and gratitude to all the medical teams at Antrim Area hospital along with the paramedics who attended the scene and saved my life.
