The family of a man who lost half his skull after collapsing in a Tesco supermarket have thanked the staff who helped save him.

Karl Hawkins, 36, was out shopping with a friend in the store in Leigh when he collapsed in the first aisle on April 24 last year.

The 36-year-old suffered a devastating brain haemorrhage and was later placed into a coma for eight weeks. Karl's mother, Jackie Chadwick, rushed to the store after finding out what had happened.

She described seeing her son lying helplessly on the ground as “horrifying”. Jackie, 61, told the Manchester Evening News: "When I walked in, I saw him and I told my eldest son I didn’t think he would survive. “I didn’t think I was going to see him walk again.
