An Asda delivery driver has been hailed as a "hero without a cape" after helping to save a man's live while on duty in Whitley Bay.
Simon Deniel, 50, of Amble, was doing his rounds on Lovaine Avenue on Thursday April 6 when he came across a woman in distress who flagged him down in the street. That woman was Elizabeth Storey, whose husband James, had had a heart attack in their home.
On entering the couple's house, Simon found James slumped in a chair but with a combination of first aid training from "years ago" and being talked through what to do by an ambulance call handler, the quick-thinking deliveryman performed CPR on James. Once he'd started breathing again, Simon waited until the ambulance arrived, keeping Elizabeth calm until her husband was "in the best hands".
