A woman who "died and came back to life" had to be proposed to seven times by her boyfriend - because she kept forgetting she'd already said yes. Kirsty Bortoft, 49, was working from home one Friday in January 2021 when she had a sudden cardiac arrest.
Her partner, Stu Clark, 47, returned home from his job as a a managing director of a car dealership to find her lifeless body on the sofa. Kirsty, a mind coach and meditation teacher, from Bridlington, East Yorkshire, said: "I don't remember much but Stu was told to prepare for the worst. It was a Friday, and I was working from home because it was lockdown.
"The last time I was seen on WhatsApp was 4.49pm and Stu walked in at 5.29pm. I was sat on the sofa with my eyes open - not breathing. He didn't think I was going to make it - I had turned a weird dark red colour and had hexagon shapes all over my skin."
