Teenage cricket star Kade Sutton came back to life after suffering a heart attack and being “clinically dead” for five minutes

Sydney cricketer Kade Sutton is lucky to be alive after suffering a heart attack in training that left him “clinically dead” for five minutes.

The teenage all-rounder collapsed during cricket training in late August and is still here today thanks to his coach Jed Dickson, who recently completed a first aid course.

“I was doing a little warm-up with the boys and I happened to go off the path into a bush where I had a seizure,” Sutton told News Corp.

“But in reality it was a cardiac arrest and I had no pulse, no heart rate or anything.” “I was clinically dead for about five minutes,” Sutton said.

“Luckily my trainer Jed Dickson had just completed his first aid course so he was up to speed. He knew what had to be done.

“He couldn’t breathe properly because I was foaming at the mouth and just purple.”

“He felt for a pulse and knew I was in trouble, so he immediately started CPR.” He brought me back to life. I went into the ambulance and they put me in a coma.

“It’s a bit emotional every time I see him now.” “You can’t really repay someone for saving your life, so I guess I just have to keep thanking him.”

Sutton was fortunate to have his trainer, Jed Dickson, on hand to give him first aid

Dickson, 35, also plays cricket and has known Sutton for many years. He said the whole situation had not yet become clear to him either.

“It’s easy to do the best you can with the tools you have at your disposal,” Dickson said.

“At this point, I was very fortunate that others had put their time and effort into building my CPR and first aid toolbox.

“(Saving a life) is something that over time as you process it becomes a part of your life and it’s really nice that Kade and his family kept me updated and I was part of their journey too. “

“They were incredibly generous with their time, not just to me but to everyone in the community.”

The talented youngster plans to play cricket again soon

“It puts a smile on my face every time I see Kado.” Seeing that infectious energy back and being part of his journey. He’s a fighter.’

Incredibly, Sutton wants to be back playing cricket by Christmas.

“I think my life is cricket,” he told Seven News.

“That’s why I’m pushing so hard to get back to it.”
