Dave Hill died following a cardiac arrest and now his family want to give free CPR training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

FOUR siblings have come together to save the lives of others in the community after their dad died from a cardiac arrest at only 49 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the morning of July 18, Dave Hill, 49, woke up saying he felt unwell. Seconds later he collapsed in his Fairwater home which he shared with his wife Debbie Hill and stepson Jack Clarke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack, 20, performed CPR on his stepdad for 20 minutes until the ambulance arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave used CPR to save lives during his 22-year career as a lifeguard. He passed on this vital skill to Jack by using the Nellie the Elephant song – meaning Jack could give his stepdad the best chance of survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy Williams, Dave\u2019s stepdaughter said: \u201cWhile he was doing compressions, all Jack could think about was Dave’s voice singing the Nellie the Elephant song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
