A man who had to be rescued from a mountainside after he caught hypothermia has told how his heart stopped beating – for THREE HOURS.
Tommy Price became unwell while climbing Blencathra with a friend on January 6. The 27-year-old had just started ascending the Lake District mountain in freezing conditions when he suddenly felt ‘delirious’.
As his body temperature began to plummet, Tommy went into cardiac arrest. With both their phone batteries drained, his friend, Max, was forced to leave him on the mountainside so he could go and find help at the bottom of the slope.
