Shock news: Hamlin had to be resuscitated in the ambulance again

At first it was only known that Hamlin had already had to be resuscitated on the pitch with cardiac compressions. As his uncle Dorrian Glenn has now revealed, that was not the only resuscitation.

"After he came into hospital he had to be resuscitated again," Glenn said, according to the Daily Mail. "I can only express my gratitude for the doctors who acted. My nephew wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them."

"I have never cried so much in my life. He basically died on that field and they brought him back to life," the Strong Safetie's uncle says of his feelings.

Hamlin's condition, meanwhile, has improved slightly. "He no longer has to be on 100 per cent ventilation, only 50 per cent," Glenn clarifies. Hamlin's condition is still critical.
