Miracle asthma girl, 10, who died for six minutes before being brought back to life begged mum to save her before collapse
Scarlett Langton was miraculously brought back to life in Denton, Manchester
A SCHOOLGIRL, who died for six minutes in her mother’s arms begging her "don't let me die", was miraculously brought back to life.
Scarlett Langton, 10, suffers from asthma and pleaded to live moments before she collapsed and turn blue outside Milgate Health Centre in Denton, Manchester.
The girl had no heart rate for six minutes, but survived after medical staff rushed outside to give her CPR,
It was later discovered Scarlett was suffering from Acute Bronchospasm, which is linked to asthma and causes the airways to narrow.
The girl, who loves gymnastics and learning, first began feeling ill on May 9 and complained of having a sore throat.
Claire Langton, her mum, said she didn’t think anything of it because Scarlett has allergies such as hay fever.
As the day progressed, Scarlett struggled to breath and her mum noticed she was using her inhaler an “awful lot” when she picked her up from school.
The 39-year-old noticed Scarlett’s condition get worse after taking her sister Ebony, 9, to get her youngest daughter Amber, 3, from nursery.
Claire told MEN: “She was in a state of panic. (The inhaler) didn't seem to be working.”
'IT WAS SO DRAMATIC'
Scarlett then collapsed outside the health centre before saying to her mum “don’t let me die” as she turned a blue, grey colour.
She added: “I picked her up and grabbed her with my arms.
“It looked to me like she'd died. Everyone was crying and shouting. I can't say whether she was breathing, but she had no pulse.
“It was so dramatic, in the space of minutes.”
Medics rushed outside with a defibrillator, which gave instructions to not give a shock.
