It had been estimated he had not been breathing for about ten minutes prior to the EMT arriving and was unresponsive. At that moment I knew he would not make it as he would have been in a coma if he was resuscitated. It is a shock and very sad. Deaths are sad but a part of life. A friend of mine was an emotional ball of tears when she found out and there I was not really emotionally bothered by it. I felt sort of bad not having any type of reaction but I study death and dying as an anthropologist and I see it from a totally different perspective. Still, he is not suffering with his problems anymore, he can finally rest and I take comfort in that.
