The man who has died nine times

A 29-year-old man is living his life to the full, despite having died nine times. Jamie Poole was born with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - a heart condition in which a portion of the heart becomes thickened, resulting in the organ being less able to pump blood effectively around the body, causing sometimes fatal complications.

Jamie said: "It's not a rare condition. One in 500 in the UK will have this condition. Unfortunately with my condition it's more advanced, or more complicated. And it's been causing me problems now for the last 10 years."
