My son took cocaine at a party- Mother issues stark warning after 28-year-old suffers a stroke

The mother of a man who almost died after taking cocaine has released a shocking picture of him in hospital as a stark warning to others.

Carl Ayres, then 28, suffered a life-changing stroke just five days after taking cocaine on New Year’s Eve last year.
The super fit ex-marine was left in a coma with doctors warning he would be left paralysed.
At one point, his life support machine was due to be switched off.
Thankfully, he survived, but has been left unable to talk or walk – and his mother Julie Ayres, 50, says she now has to wipe his bottom.
Mrs Ayres said she feels 'broken' over what had happened to her son - and has released the picture of him in hospital as a warning to others considering taking cocaine
