US National Football League star Damar Hamlin woke up after collapsing during a game and asked doctors treating him in hospital if his team won the game.
The Buffalo Bills star suffered a cardiac arrest on the field during Monday night's game in Ohio, causing an outpouring of grief from football fans.
Doctors and his team say he has shown "remarkable improvement" in the past 24 hours and is "neurologically intact".
Hamlin has been in the intensive care unit since he was taken off the field.
He has been communicating with doctors by writing after waking up.
One of Hamlin's physicians, Dr Timothy Pritts, said he had asked who won the game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals.
...
Hamlin is still on a ventilator in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to help his breathing.
...
His agent, Ron Butler, confirmed to CNN that Hamlin was awake and had been holding hands with his family in the hospital.
Hamlin, 24, suffered a cardiac arrest during the primetime game after tackling Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins.

“FReepers - frequently wrong never in doubt.”
It’s called Liberty and Freedom of speech. Americans have it but you don’t appreciate it or respect it.
Sick and tired of ppl brining The Gulag down on us. Keep that crap attitude off this site.
The BBC is first to report this?
Writing understandable script by hand on paper is a very good sign.
Does anyone wonder if this is true? Was there a journalist in the room? An honest one?
“Common, somebody show that this guy didn’t take the COVID vaccine.”
He did. The whole team had to.

Wonderful news! I hope he makes a full recovery.
YOU DID!!! yer still alive...
Screw you bozo - I was just goofing around.
Keep you’re crap to yourself.
The overwhelming majority of patients such as this do die. If he returns to a normal life it will be nothing short of a miracle, regardless of what caused the cardiac arrest.
I will say it like mark levin. Everything I have said has been shown to be correct. The thundering noises of the apologies is overwhelming /s
“If he returns to a normal life it will be nothing short of a miracle”
I just heard a report that the hospital said that the first responders who were on the field did everything right. There was nothing they could’ve done better.
I know zero about football, but the kid seems like a decent guy. I sure hope he comes back 100%.
That was insensitive of himself.
Hope the guy pulls through.
You think autocorrect doesn't know how to spell sues? The vast majority of the time people blame autocorrect, it's just a typo. In this case, D is directly adjacent to S, and I right next to U, so almost certainly a typo. A really awkward one at that.
There are a number of people who owe these fine doctors (pinged above) who were spot-on with their observations and descriptions of what happened to Damar Hamlin and his chances for recovery.
None of them have the courage though.
Thanks to Mom MD and gas_dr for all their comments and excellent analysis. Glad to have you both here.
He’s still gonna die.
You know that, right?
when I read that he asked who won the game it caused a little giggle to surface ... laughter is the music of joy. I felt joy that he is comin’ out of it.
iPhone dictation often trips up the lazy. My bad.
Eventually. As will we all.
