I don't know how I'd react. I think I'd freak if I found him, but just seeing the paramedics work on someone? I don't know, It's a very sobering moment, though. I've been to funerals before, but I think seeing someone in a natural place (like at a pool) and they are dead... it would shake me up! Wow! I don’t know how I’d react.

A few years ago, I was the only person in my office and I noticed that the person in the next office had passed out or something and to make a long story short, he had had a heart attack and I had to call the paramedics, try and drag him out of his office chair (vey large man) with the help of one other man and attempt CPR which I don't know at all. He ended up dying and I still wish that there had been more that I could have done. Like, if I had really known CPR maybe he wouldn't have died. And I was also mad at myself for being really grossed out at the time. If it had been my dad, I would have wanted whoever found him to be kind and caring and not grossed out. Anyway, his family was really grateful to me for acting and not just assuming the guy was asleep at his desk, and they gave me a gardenia plant that I am bound and DETERMINED to keep alive no matter what. Way more than you wanted to know, I'm sure...your story just reminded me of my experience. Seeing someone die is a very difficult experience.
