They were sleeping in bed when she heard him snoring very loud. She tapped him and then he would start snoring even louder. When she turned on the light, she realized he was unconscious and called for help. The Ops staff advised her to intervene while waiting for the arrival of the rescuers. She tried to resuscitate him by following the directions they gave her from Ops, but nothing. So she screamed for help at the window. Neighbors and relatives arrived. The rescuers also arrived. To give support came doctor and nurse crew of 118, who understood immediately that the illness was serious. They used the defibrillator and initiated all possible and imaginable resuscitation maneuvers. But after more than an hour, the doctors could not help but note the death of Francesco Basciano.

Friday night he was working in the garden, maybe even taking advantage of the evening time a little cooler. Not hearing him and not seeing him return, the mother began to worry and alerted the other son Luke who lives next door. "I found him on the ground in the garden. I called for help and immediately began to give him CPR. It was about 9 pm. John had never had any problems or warnings. It was really an unexpected death".

I've been in too many to count "near accidents" while driving and I pay so close attention to other drivers. Dear God, please make it stop.
