A WOMAN who was feared to be brain dead stunned doctors with a “miracle” just before her life support was due to be switched off speaks for the first time. KFC worker Emma Price, 32, had been in a coma after taking an overdose but is now recovering having woken up at the end of July. She has now spoken for the first time since her ordeal.

Emma, from Basildon, Essex , was found unresponsive at her home by her family who claim she took an overdose after allegedly being bullied at her workplace. She was placed on life support and was receiving round-the-clock care due to the seriousness of her condition. Earlier this week though, Emma has managed to speak to her family for the first time, saying hello over the phone and also thanked everyone who has supported her and her family.

While her family said it will be “many, many months” or possibly years until Emma is able to leave hospital, they added she is "moving to recovery and no longer just surviving". In an update, they said the money raised on their GoFundMe page will be used to support any needs Emma may have in the future, saying “not a penny” will be spent until this is known. Taking to YouTube, Emma’s brother Jamie Price said his sister was now out of intensive care and she is able to remember him.

He added the support from everyone had been “really, really helpful” and Emma was “really grateful” for the support. Most read in Health Jamie added he and the family would continue to share updates about .
