Woman brought back from the dead five times by pub staff

It was a dramatic night at The Gate Inn, in Honeybourne, when a woman had a cardiac fit, prompting staff and regulars to jump to the rescue.

The woman’s heart had to be restarted five times before a trained paramedic arrived.

Matthew Henson, owner of the pub, said: “With the amazing help from the people present in the pub, we managed to perform CPR and bring her back after her heart stopped.

“Not one person involved panicked, we worked so well together and saved a life.”

The woman was enjoying a karaoke night at the bar on Weston Road on Saturday night (April 29) when she suddenly had a cardiac arrest.

After her heart stopped, Mr Henson ran to fetch the defibrillator from the post box on Honeybourne High Street.

"The lady died a further four times and each time we managed to bring her back," Mr Henson continued.

“The fantastic first responder arrived and took over from us until the awesome paramedics arrived with all of their machinery and did what only they can do.

“At 1.30am (Sunday, April 30) the lady recovered enough to be taken to hospital for what we all hope will be a full recovery.”

Fortunately, the woman has made a swift, full, recovery and popped into the pub on Sunday evening to say thank you.

The situation has made Mr Henson decide to install a defibrillator at the pub.

He added: “The importance of the defib was paramount and as such, we will be putting a defib at The Gate Inn.

“I firmly believe the device is needed and should be available as soon as possible.

“Please be aware that the High Street defib will not be present until I return it to the parish council and pads are replaced.”
