Parish Councillor Barry Miller has praised the paramedics who saved his life during a heart attack on board an ambulance.
Mr Miller, 48, was at home in Whittle Avenue, in Lower Compton, when his chest felt tight, he started having cold sweats, and his fingers were tingling the classic symptoms of a heart attack.
He called an ambulance, but before it got to Swindon's Great Western Hospital he had a full-blown attack.
The two paramedics administered electric shocks, saving his life. "If it wasn't for them I would be dead," he said.
Mr Miller, a councillor for East Ward, in Calne Without Parish Council, has not suffered heart problems before.
