First responder reunites with team who saved him

Available for over a year

A first responder who went into cardiac arrest while watching a film at a cinema has been reunited with the team who saved his life. Peter Blount collapsed at the Regal Cinema in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, in January as he watched period drama parody Fackham Hall with wife Lesley. Lesley was the first to give CPR before community responders and volunteers took over and used a nearby defibrillator to revive him. Five months later, Peter reunited with East Midlands Ambulance Service crew and volunteers to thank them. Peter and his wife Lesley spoke to BBC Leicester's Ady Dayman.
