A mum is fighting to keep her daughter alive after doctors told her it was time to turn off her life support. They say she is ‘brain stem dead’ after a heart attack at work.
Orinta Spudyte, 18, who was previously fit and healthy, was working in her job as a waitress Bancone Golden Square in Soho, London, when she suddenly collapsed on June 16. She hit her head as she fell to the floor.
Her mum Vera Spudiene, 42, said her daughter, who was working six days a week and often didn’t get home until the early hours, wasn’t breathing for 48 minutes. Emergency services raced to the scene and managed to get her pulse back and she was taken to St Thomas’ Hospital, according to Grimsby Live.
