London: In a miraculous incident, a British woman came back to life after she had stopped breathing for 25 minutes.
The family members of Jean McDonald, 64, of Chapel Hill, Braintree, Essex, had bid goodbyes after she suffered a deadly cardiac arrest. They even had locks of her hair snipped off as mementos. But surprising everyone, the grandmother yet again started breathing despite having serious brain impairment.
“It is incredible. But it’s scary as well because she is making so much progress so quickly that I worry what a bad day may do,” the Daily Mail quoted Jean’s husband Dave McDonald as saying.
The doctors at Broomfield Hospital, in Chelmsford, Essex, marked her 4.5 out of 5 on the brain damage scale and expected her to die.
But now, after the incredible recovery, she is able to talk, eat, walk and shower, and her family hopes she will be able to return home soon. (ANI)
Man goes to court in the coat he stole!
London: A British man, who was accused of shoplifting a coat from a sports store, appeared in the court wearing the very same item.
Stephen Kirkbride arrived in front of the judge wearing the 125-pounds Craghopper waterproof, which he was accused of stealing.
Staffs who were called to give evidence for the prosecution had alerted police after they recognized the coat as the one he had stolen from the town’s Sports Direct shop when he left it on a chair in the court.
“I pointed the jacket out to the police officer and he seized it straight away,” the Daily Mail quoted Deborah Robson, store manager, as saying.
The 46-year-old offender was then ordered to surrender the coat when he appeared at South Lakeland Magistrates’ Court, Kendal.
Although Kirkbride’s defence solicitor Judith Birkett said that her client “wouldn’t be so stupid” as to turn up in stolen goods, but Kendal magistrate, Jenny Farmer has found him guilty of shoplifting.
The hearing was adjourned until July 11 for a pre-sentence report to be prepared and Kirkbride has been remanded on unconditional bail. (ANI)
