24 Hours in A&E teen Kye's cardiac arrest while playing football has viewers in tears

Channel 4 viewers say they were moved to tears by Tuesday night's 24 Hours in A&E. This week's episode featured a young man called Kye who collapsed during a football training session.

Eighteen-year-old Kye was rushed to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham after going into cardiac arrest. Quick-thinking teammates, staff and coaches had begun CPR while someone ran to fetch a defibrillator.

Kye survived, but almost certainly only because the sports ground had a defibrillator on site. Now 19, he said: “Without it there is a big chance I just wouldn’t be here. I’m just very grateful that it was there and for the people who helped me.”
