Unconscious and not breathing
'I had a motorcycle accident. I was knocked
out. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to be fine. All I needed was
someone who knew first aid. To get my heart beating. To give me a
chance to live. I waited. I waited. And I waited.'
This is based on a real person.
Gary Edwards died on the day he received his AS level results.
He didn’t die of internal bleeding or a head injury – he died
because his heart stopped and he couldn’t breathe. He wasn’t given
any basic first aid. He wasn’t given a chance to live.
Nearly 60% of people said they wouldn’t know what to do if
someone stopped breathing. Put life saving information in your
