A woman, who was in a coma for six weeks, thinking that she was living in the 1990s and that Princess Diana was still alive.
Candace Emptage, who also forgot she had a daughter after the horror smash left her battling for life four years ago, revealed how she was moments from death after her family discussed turning off her life support machine - only to see their loved one move a finger just in time, the Mirror reported.
