'Dead' swimmer recovers in hospital

He stopped breathing for an hour, no remarks about whether he sustained any brain damage. I suspect the water was mighty cold for that not to have happened. The cold slows down everything, bacteria, decay and including death I suppose. Snippet:

"... Deeks had been "very cold" and unconscious when he arrived, according to Sister Wendy Bibly who is in charge of the hospital's ICU.

But she said on Tuesday that Deeks was in a stable condition and had been moved to the general ward. He was due to be discharged on Thursday. ..."

Would have made a great Halloween story! [Link]
