Woman who ‘died for 24 minutes’ details waking up to her ‘second life’
Lauren Canaday said she ‘stopped breathing and turned blue’
A woman has opened up about what happened after she went into sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and was declared clinically dead for 24 minutes.
As far as nearly-miraculous comebacks go, Virginia resident Lauren Canaday was given a remarkable ‘second chance’ at life in 2023. She suffered a tonic-clonic seizure, also known as a grand mal seizure, which caused her muscles to violently contract and stopped her breathing.
“My husband was across the hall and heard me say, ‘Oh s***,'” Canaday told Newsweek a few months after her near-death experience (NDE). “He rushed in to find me unconscious on the floor. I had stopped breathing and turned blue.”
The woman had been on medication for controlled epilepsy for a number of years. Thanks to her husband’s quick thinking, prompt CPR and 911 call, Canaday was able to receive oxygen while suffering a cardiac arrest.
The CPR tided her over until emergency medical technicians arrived four minutes later.
