Richard Marsh gives first interview about locked-in syndrome

In 2009, Richard Marsh was given a 2% chance of survival. A stroke had left him aware and awake but unable to move or speak.

A former police officer and teacher, who had loved life and been at the top of his physical game, Marsh found himself a prisoner in his own body. He had full cognitive awareness but an almost complete paralysis of nearly all the voluntary muscles in his body.
