A woman on the verge of death after her heart stopped for 45 minutes stunned doctors when she woke up three days later - and made a full recovery.
Carol Brothers, 63, suffered a massive heart attack while shopping and was kept alive by CPR administered by her daughter Maxine Dickinson, 43.
She was rushed to hospital where doctors later gave her 24 hours to live and advised her family to say their final goodbyes.

Her medication was withdrawn so she could pass away peacefully - but the mother-of-three suddenly woke up three days later while having her face washed by a nurse.
