00:00Hi, I'm Digital Reporter Amy Seddon. A defibrillator has been installed at a popular
00:06Lancashire nature attraction in memory of a Lancashire father who died there earlier this
00:11year, 13 months on from the death of another family man at the same site. Turtle Defib
00:18Cabinets says it is proud to announce that another wind and solar powered defib cabinet
00:23has been installed in Lancashire. This time it has been located at Riveting Park in Chorley
00:29and works as a tribute to a loving husband and father called Ketan Kumar Patel who sadly died
00:35after going into carjack arrest while out walking at Rivington Pike with his wife and daughter in
00:40May this year. While other walkers administrated CPR before the air ambulance arrived and tried
00:45to save Keaton's life, another local lady called Sarah supported Keaton's family by helping set up
00:51a Just Giving page and quickly raised enough funds for a defibrillator cabinet at Fico Rivington Cafe
00:57located at the popular walking destination between Chorley and Bolton. Although it was
01:02Keaton's tragic death that directly prompted the campaign, the defibrillator installation also comes
01:07a year on from the death of another local man in his 60s who collapsed at Rivington Pike in 2023.
01:14Those behind the defibrillator's installation hope it will help save lives in the future.
