The councillor who came back from the dead and those who saved him

Allan Jeffery was finishing a busy week of canvassing for the council elections in Swansea on April 29. He had a coffee with a party colleague and the pair went their separate ways to knock on doors and drum up support.

Mr Jeffery walked up Waterloo Place, Brynmill. After knocking on number 19 and talking to its owner, Elizabeth Kift, the lights went out. "I talked to at least half a dozen people on Waterloo Place, but from that point I don't remember anything," said Mr, now councillor, Jeffery.

"I can't remember knocking on number 19. The next thing I can remember was waking up in a high-intensity ward in Morriston Hospital, with so many electrodes attached to me. I had no idea what had happened." You can read more stories about Swansea here.
