Brisbane runner who clinically died on morning jog reunited with strangers who saved her life

Key points

  • A Brisbane woman who went into cardiac arrest during her morning run a year ago is urging people to learn CPR and how to use a defibrillator. Kaley Koppa, 43, collapsed on a bench along the Brisbane River after she slowed down and clutched her arm.
  • Members of the public performed CPR, and a Star Casino security worker used a defibrillator, which Ms Koppa says saved her life. Doctors later declared she had clinically died.
  • Ms Koppa has since learned she has a progressive genetic heart disease and can no longer run.
