Parent's 'nightmare' ordeal as son, 6, nearly dies choking on school dinner

Elis Lloyd was eating a sausage during lunch at Saron Primary School in Carmarthenshire when a bit became lodged in his throat and blocked his airway.

He slipped in and out of consciousness for 20 minutes and almost required an electric shock from a defibrillator when first responders were able to remove the piece of food.
