The 29 year old, Mr Richard Godby, who was one of the first at the scene, rushed to the memorial hall, in the High Street, to get the defibrillator.

“I’m pretty sure it might have been a heart attack but I think he hit his head at the same time,” he said.

Those trying to help took instruction from emergency services over the phone until ambulance crews arrived and continued to treat the man, with paramedics wearing protective body suits.

Suffolk Police closed the road for nearly an hour until ambulance crews left the scene to take the man to hospital.

On Sunday, his wife, Patricia Gwenhure told ZimEye, he is still hospitalised as at Sunday.

“He is at Papworth Hospital and is in a coma,” she said.  

Mr Gwenhure is 70 years old.
