Geoff Bisby, 66, suffered a heart attack and passed out as he was out walking in Penwortham.

Now, after an appeal in the Evening Post, three of the four people who tried to help the Broadgate grandfather have come forward.

They are Chris Dorning, 25, from Penwortham, Laura Urbanski, of Tarleton, and Doreen Nunnerley from Penwortham.

The fourth man, an E.On employee, has not been traced.
All four were driving across Liverpool Road when they spotted stricken Mr Bisby and stopped their cars to help.

Artist Mr Dorning, of Dove Avenue, was first on the scene and began flagging down other people to help.

He said: "I was driving at the time and saw a man in the corner of my eye who looked like he had gone into shock.

"I pulled over to see what I could do. I got him on his side and called an ambulance."

One of the drivers he stopped to help was Mrs Urbanski, a company director.

She was returning to her St Helen's Well home from Deepdale when she pulled over.

She said: "We put him in the recovery position and I remembered I had a blanket in a first aid kit in my car, so we put it around him.

"Then a man working for E.On came over, put him on his back and began giving him CPR until the paramedics arrived."

The trio were also helped by Mrs Nunnerley who checked for a pulse and tried talking to him to get a response.

She said: "I hope it gives his family some comfort to know he wasn't on his own. We tried our best to save him."

Mr Bisby, a father-of-two from Maresfield Road, was taken to Royal Preston Hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead on arrival.

His daughter Kirsty said: "Thank you so much to all the people who helped my dad.

"It's really lifted us up and has restored our faith in human beings.
"For four people to help a total stranger and knowing he wasn't on his own is a real comfort."

Mr Bisby's funeral will take place at Preston Crematorium at 10.30am on Tuesday.

His family have requested donations to Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Preston Emergency Trauma Team.
