'A 27-year-old declared brain dead by doctors woke up when his gun-toting dad engaged in a three-hour standoff at the hospital .

George Pickering II marched into the intensive care unit threatening medical staff when they threatened to turn off his son's life support.

During the standoff with police, his son George Pickering III miraculously squeezed his father's hand, proving he was still conscious.

Doctors had ordered a 'terminal wean' - where life support is slowly withdrawn - after George III appeared brain dead following a stroke in January.

He had already been placed on an organ donation register and his mum and brother had given their consent.

But his dad George II was determined his son would pull through and following his intervention, George III is now recovering and doing well.'
