Island player helps bring man "back from the dead"

An Isle of Man squash player helped bring a man back to life at Gatwick Airport over the weekend.

Dave Hedley - who is head consultant of A&E at Noble's Hospital - was returning from competing at the ETC3 Championships in Latvia.

When a fellow passenger suffered a heart attack, Dr Dave was on hand to provide his medical expertise and assist airport staff in dealing with the incident.

It's claimed the victim was technically dead, however, was brought back via the use of a defibrillator.

Manx Radio understands the man is now recovering in hospital.
