Subscriber only 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.
Rugby league great Garry Jack has opened up about his miracle survival after a massive heart attack which left him clinically dead for eight minutes.
The former Balmain Tigers and Australian fullback said the last thing he remembers was warming up for a jui jitsu class - with his longtime friend and coach responsible for saving his life.
Thanks to the quick actions and training of his mates, the 100 per cent blockage in Jack s left main artery, known as a widow-maker , did not leave him with brain damage despite having no pulse or oxygen for a normally lethal period.
