Off-duty Warwickshire Police Save Cyclist's Life After Cardiac Arrest

Two off-duty Warwickshire Police firearms officers, PCs Sam Long and Faye Gardner, saved the life of a cyclist who suffered a cardiac arrest near Hampton Lucy after almost completing a 45-mile ride. The officers, who were returning home from the Two Castles Run, immediately stopped to provide life-saving CPR and assisted with defibrillator use until paramedics arrived. The cyclist was revived at the scene, was breathing on his own and speaking by the time he left, and was subsequently taken to the hospital where he is recovering. Medical professionals confirmed that without the officers' quick intervention, the cyclist would likely have died. PC Gardner expressed pride in their actions, even more so than completing the race, and wished the man a speedy recovery. Warwickshire Police highlighted their readiness to respond in emergencies as part of their commitment to public safety.
