A man who suffered a cardiac arrest in his kitchen has been reunited with the quick-thinking neighbour who saved his life. When Kenneth Lyon, 69, began having chest pains at his home his wife Jennifer went to fetch neighbour Erika Davies who works as an emergency medical technician with the Welsh Ambulance Service.
Erika, 48, who was off duty and had just arrived home from a run, hurried to her neighbour's home in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, to discover that Kenneth was in full cardiac arrest. Erika, who has worked for the Welsh Ambulance Service for five years, recalled: "I had just finished an overtime shift and dropped my son's car to the garage before running home.
"I was meant to run to my mum's but I automatically jogged the two miles to my house. Before I had the chance to shower I heard this massive bang on the door."
