Rugby League legend Garry Jack has gone public with his "miracle second chance" after surviving a massive cardiac arrest that left him clinically dead.
An unconscious Jack turned grey, was lifeless and considered 'gone' after collapsing without warning just five-minutes into a jiu jitsu training session seven weeks ago.
"I had never had any heart issues, pain in my chest or in my arms, nothing,'' Jack said.
"The next thing, I'm unconscious, fighting for my life.''
In harrowing detail, Jack has revealed he "somehow" avoided permanent brain damage from the trauma that left him without a pulse for a normally fatal eight minutes.
