Tanya Leibel knew she was in trouble.
Standing atop the steps of a popular Coquitlam, B.C. trail, the 66-year-old felt a massive pressure on her chest that shot down her left arm.
She waved to her son-in-law, Chris, for help and sat on a rock. Then, she collapsed.

Two days later, Leibel awoke in the hospital, stunned to see her family by her bedside.
Leibel’s doctor told her she had suffered a massive heart attack from a blockage in her coronary arteries.
“It was a miracle I was alive with no brain damage,” she said.
There was a reason: the quick-thinking response of a nearby stranger who had performed CPR on her.
