A British DJ who suffered horrific injuries after “sleepwalking” off a balcony 80 feet up while on holiday said he is “lucky to be alive” after waking from a coma.

Dad-of-two Paul Cartwright suffered 28 broken bones after plunging four storeys from his hotel room in Malta where he was celebrating his 45th birthday with his girlfriend.

Paul's last memory was “having a good read” and smoking a cigarette on the balcony before plummeting onto the concrete four storeys below.

His fall left him with a fractured neck, a smashed pelvis, a broken femur and foot as well as internal bleeding and cracked ribs.

Paul, a DJ on London-based radio station MuusicFM, said his girlfriend Danielle Hickey found him after getting up in the middle of the night.

This footage was filmed on September 21.
