A man who suffered a series of strokes aged just 25 lost his accent and started speaking like Siri - but could also sing Frank Sinatra perfectly. Mechanical fitter Dominick Nicholas had put his changing mood down to the stress of renovating a new house, but then in August woke to find his right side completely numb.
When he tried to speak he was repeating himself and slurring his words, reports The Echo. Girlfriend Laura realised he was having a stroke and called an ambulance. Doctors found an extremely rare tangle of poorly developed blood vessels which had been bursting and healing multiple times - causing mini-strokes in the part of Dominick's brain that regulated emotions.
Dominick said: “When the stroke happened, I thought I was going to die. I closed my eyes and blacked out, I have no memories of that time but I wasn’t unconscious. When I woke up a week later, I realized the right side of my body wouldn’t move, and I was on an intensive care ward.
