A water board worker “died for some time” before a quick-thinking Asda delivery driver saved his life. Rob Coburn, 47, was walking his dog when he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest.
Asda delivery driver Anthony Heath, who had only completed his CPR training two weeks before the incident, saw Rob fall to the ground and immediately started mouth-to-mouth. The distribution operative for Severn Trent Water had been “essentially dead for some time,” according to doctors.
However, he was “given the best chance of survival” thanks to Anthony's heroic effort, before paramedics arrived and staff the hospital continued to save his life.
