In a remarkable turn of events, a man who suffered a cardiac arrest while on the toilet was saved thanks to his girlfriend hearing his phone fall. Chris Rowell, now 52, collapsed in January 2021 and his heart stopped. But his partner, Becka, heard the noise and rushed to his aid. With the help of their nurse neighbor, they performed CPR for 20 minutes until paramedics arrived. Rowell was rushed to the hospital and spent three days in a coma before undergoing a balloon angioplasty. Fast forward to 2023, Rowell has now completed the London Marathon to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation. He ran the 26.2-mile course in just under five hours, raising an incredible £2,500 for the charity.
