HISTORICAL FACTS: Cullercoats nurse was found unresponsive by wife after suffering heart attack while gardening | History Defined

A Cullercoats nurse was found unresponsive by her wife after she suffered a heart attack while gardening.

Heather Fenton was found slumped on the ground in March by her wife Janette Hillicks as she brought her a cup of tea. Janette had to drag Heather across the garden to lie her on her back before running into the house to ring 999 and was talked through how to do CPR by a call handler from the North East Ambulance Service.

Janette gave Heather CPR for 10 minutes with the help of a neighbour before paramedics arrived and took her to the Freeman Hospital.
