CPR saves walker who suffered heart attack on popular walk

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Shaun Duseigneur​ died, went to heaven, and then came back to life.
In January, he set off to do the Paekākāriki escarpment track, including he section known as the Stairway to Heaven.
Although he was not feeling well, he did not want to let his partner Chantal Lynch down and decided to push on.

Halfway along the track, he suffered a heart attack and stopped breathing. A bystander began doing CPR and after 20 minutes, Duseigneur​ began to breathe for himself.

In Wellington Hospital he was placed in a coma and he needed surgery to put a stent in his heart. He has made a good recovery, although his memory of that day is not good.

Jakki from Miramar

I would like to try and repair my heater instead of just buying a new one. I can't seem to find a repair shop in Wellington. Can anyone suggest one please?
