0:53Now PlayingA mom died for nearly an hour — but she was brought back to life and is now sharing her “magical” experience.
Kirsty Bortoft, 49, was found unresponsive on the sofa in her living room on Jan. 29, 2021, with her eyes open yet “lifeless,” according to her fiancé, Stu.
She had signed off work for the weekend and was looking forward to a romantic night in with Stu — but her fiancé walked into a terrifying sight.
Stu, 47, found her laptop upside down and closed on the floor and said her skin had “strange” hexagonal patterns all over and was a “dark red mahogany” color.
He began to fear for her life, and soon after, she was rushed to the hospital.
“He put me on the floor and started CPR while on the phone with the emergency services and after plugging me into various machines, the first responder used a defibrillator to shock my weak heartbeat into rhythm,” Bortoft remembered.
The mom of three stopped breathing and medics tried to save her — but she was only given less than a 6% chance of survival.
