Dying doesn't normally give a person new life - yet that is exactly what happened to Patrick Charnley.
He was a high-flying corporate lawyer, who viewed downtime as "wasted time", restlessly pushing himself to success.
But working long hours during the pandemic in 2021, the ultra-fit father-of-two suffered a cardiac arrest aged 39.
What began as an unremarkable evening eating sausage and chips on the sofa ended with him collapsing unconscious.
Triggered by a hereditary condition, his heart stopped. Patrick was clinically dead for 40 minutes. His wife performed CPR, while his daughter and son, then nine and seven, ran to get help.
