'I was dead for 12 minutes after a heart attack in Aldi - two strangers saved my life'

A grandfather-of-five has told how he collapsed with a heart attack and almost died on a shopping aisle in Aldi.

Father-of-three Joe Peden, 61, has shared his story to thank the store manager and an off-duty A&E consultant for saving his life - together with customers and passers-by who raised the alarm and rushed to get a defibrillator. Joe said the store manager, who he knows only as Jason, performed CPR on him for eight long minutes on the aisle floor by his trolley.

The A&E consultant from Wythenshawe, who Joe said was in the store shopping at the time, then took over for a further four minutes before he was shocked three times with the defibrillator.
