Reminder. Life can end at any moment

Sad reality. Sadly one of our maintenance guys who is in low 60s had a heart attack mopping he floors. He's not 100% confirmed to have passed, but he has no active pulse and ambulance had him on a machine keeping the pulse going, but not breathing on his own.

The technician who saw it happen said he thought he might have slipped on floor and fell, but then he was foaming a little at the mouth and was turning blue. So likely the little scream he heard was the heart attack happening and then fell

also doesn't help he fell on a concrete floor although there was no blood from that fall.

Technician was giving him CPR best he could, ambulance arrived very quickly. After roughly 25 minutes that's when they picked him up and brought on top ambulance and officially to hospital

technician is pretty shaken up by it.

Another technician was like...I was literally talking to him 5 minutes ago, i went outside to grab a car and pulled it in and he's down on the floor.

Did he have a wife / kids? It's always sad when someone passes but it's even worse for the family that he's leaving behind

You're right Sammy. It can happen at any time.

Not married. 1 brother. No kids

Very sad

I had a friend die from a heart attack a couple of weeks ago . She was 58 years old and dropped dead in her kitchen. No previous issues .

Sammy you just never know

3-4 weeks ago same thing happened one of my daughter's teachers at school

You just never know

I often walky little dogs with someone in an extremely large cemetery

We were looking at one couple's headstones

I told the other person look at the dates

One passed away at 68 years old, while their partner lived to 98yrs old

It's amazing when you think about because some ppl think 68 is old, but then another person gets to live 30 more years of life

That's a huge difference

A good friend of mine passed this last week. My sister saw him in July and he seemed just fine. Between then and now he had a couple strokes but it wasn't the strokes that did him in. While getting checked for the strokes they found out he had pancreatic cancer and that is what did him in.
