I watched a guy dying today

[kupocake]

The only thing I've ever seen die in Churchill Square was Zavvi.

Must be weird not really caring for a person just as they die infront of you.

Public hangings used to be a form of public entertainment. There's probably some kind of morbid curiosity in our blood. I don't think I would have hung around though.

Also, there's nothing in the Argus, so it didn't happen.

edit: "Man who tried to kill me had "happy monkey face", wife tells court"
go go Argus.

Do you know if he was unconsciousness or not? If he was, ten minutes for CPR is a bit too long and I'd most likely guess he didn't make it. If he did his brain is seriously f***ed. I think its between four and six minutes of unconsciousness when you start getting brain damage.

Bugger Warbie. I know how that feels, experienced it myself a few months ago.

We were driving just out of Montigo Bay in Jamaica, and drove by this crashed limo. In the middle of the road lay the body of someone who must have tried to cross the highway and gotten hit. The driver of our taxi muttered that the man must be dead, and the commotion of people on the highway seemed to indicate that.

Took me weeks to get the image of the guy out of my head, though its not really something one forgets so easily....

Any news on what happened to him in the end and why?

Well hopefully he ended up being okay.

He's dead. Or that's very likely. CPR doesn't bring anyone back to life or restart a heart; it's an unreliable stopgag measure to try and keep them in a condition where they can be properly handled by a real doctor who might really be able to help them; keep blood going through the body so it doesn't die while circulation's off. Unfortuantely, even if the guy was using the most effective method (which everyone nowadays seems to agree is compressions, no breaths) the man's survival rate over that kind of time period is in single figures. Sorry.

Hop on two wheels. You'll see a lot worse.

I read the title as "I watched a guy drying today." and said "Uh... Cool?" Then looked again because it seemed ridiculous, then I went "Ohh... "

Tough shit, man. God hates fat people. :/

;D

Damn, that sucks. My friend almost drowning was a very defining moment for me.
