    Yes? Lol

    The prognosis for someone receiving CPR after an unwitnessed arrest is abysmal for a much younger, healthy person - like 5% chance of survival and even less than that for survival without severe brain damage. If they performed CPR correctly they broke every rib in his chest, and if they were somehow able to get his heart beating again then he’s certainly on a ventilator and brain dead. The absolute “best case” scenario is that the family is in denial and they haven’t decided to pull the plug yet.

      I hope he’s fully aware of his surroundings and body, but entirely unable to move or communicate in even the smallest of ways

      Two weeks ago, on the morning of June 14, he was found unconscious at his D.C. home and rushed to the hospital, after an EMS call reporting a cardiac arrest at his address and that he’d been given CPR.

      Dude’s 100% dead. At best, he’s already braindead before they carried his comotose body to the ambulance and he died on the way to the hospital. No 84 year old with health issues is surviving that shit.
