You can be named 'clinically dead' and then revived so Jemima wasn't enitrely wrong, but the way she talked about it gave the impression that her daughter had completely passed away

This.

The difference between clinical death and biological death is small: just a few crucial minutes, in fact. Clinical death is the point at which a person's heart stops beating. At that time, breathing and blood circulation stop. Biological death occurs some four to six minutes later, when the brain cells die from lack of oxygen.

When brain death occurs, all neurological functions irreversibly cease. The brain simply cannot survive for very long without oxygen. When oxygen is withheld beyond that six-minute threshold, brain death is the result. The reason the brain-death clock starts ticking down once the heart stops is because cardiac activity is the whole ballgame for our bodies, and brains. When the heart stops, oxygen cannot be transported to the brain and the brain dies from lack of it. The legal time of death is noted at the moment in which a doctor determines that a patient's entire brain has ceased to function.

It's still possible to resuscitate a person who has undergone clinical death and keep them alive by artificial means of life support, such as a respirator. However, when biological death has been established and the brain has been too long deprived of oxygen, resuscitation is impossible. Often, at that point, another clock starts ticking away in the background: the clock for organ donation.

Jemima was a complete twat tonight and only brought that incident into the conversation to get one up on Jacke saying Charlie had witnessed her grandmothers death and basically make herself the centre of attention again.

She's the type of person that would lie about anything to make her sound better than you, if you said you ate 2 sausages for breakfast you could pretty much guarantee Jemima would say she had ate 3.

Yeah exactly, I don't know how Jackie stayed so calm either, I would have slapped her if she was banging on about my daughter like that

hmm I'm not convinced that would be the best thing for Charlie, on the one hand we're all supposed to be up in arms because Hazel was offended and shown on national TV that she may or may not have had some involvement in a suicide, yet when Charlie's life and medical history are splashed all over our screens, we are supposed to think it's all fine because it's her mother who does it..? I don't buy that.

I don't think "we're all supposed to be up in arms" about what Charlie said

LOL Oh dear what a carry on !!! One over- protective mother , not being listened to( apart from petty one upmanship purposes) and a self obsessed screeching ,drama queen, who was also clearly NOT ANNOYED by the noms LOL. It must have been pretty embarrassing for Charlie. She is 26 not a toddler. Jeremiah I think has now guaranteed her exit and if that was what they have had to put up with for over a week I am not surprised she is up for eviction.
