One Kiss92 fan named Jeffrey slipped into a coma after a fall at home recently. Prior to that, he had been listening to the radio station every morning. As the doctor told his son Jasper that it might be helpful to let him listen to familiar voices, Jasper reached out to Kiss92 FM to ask the DJs Maddy , Andre, and Divian to speak to him. And much to everyone's surprise, Jeffrey did hear them while he was in coma, and woke up three days after the DJs spoke to him over the radio. On Dec. 1, Kiss92 uploaded an audio clip of the conversation that the father and son had with the three DJs, where they recounted the events. Woke up in the middle of the night Jasper recalled that Jeffrey regained consciousness while he was watching a football match in the hospital at around 2:15am, after being in a coma for 23 days.
