In January 2011 Chris, then aged 50, was swept out to sea by a rip current in Queensland
while playing with his youngest daughter on a beach close to home.

Local lifeguards found him a short time later face down in the water

and not breathing. While he was being resuscitated, he suffered a cardiac arrest and

he was taken to the Acute Care Unit at Gold Coast Hospital in Southport.

After he was released home, he contracted pneumonia due to the amount of sea water

that had infiltrated his lungs, for which he was placed on medication
