A man who suffered a shock cardiac arrest and was set to have his life support machine switched off has made a 'miracle' recovery.
Doctors had advised the family of Sean Chilvers, 30, that it might be best to 'turn off the machines' when he was placed in an induced coma earlier this year.
But five months later, the kitchen assistant is able to talk again as he continues his remarkable battle to return to full health.
Sean, from Burton upon Trent, was found to have an underlying condition that caused his hypoxic brain injury when he collapsed and 'died for 30 minutes' at his Horninglow home in February.
His mother, Michelle, was advised on how to perform life-saving CPR for her son while waiting for an ambulance as she spoke with operators on the phone.
Sean was rushed to intensive care at Burton's Queen's Hospital and placed under an induced coma for six weeks.
