I thought he dead too. If this works, I will be amazed.
His death was never confirmed. In my opinion, what happened was that he coded, and he was revived with paddles. It has been reported by family that he is on a ventilator and that he has no kidney function left. He’s also unconscious. It’s too bad, for him and his family, that they waited so long to try something. I can’t imagine that it will help, but who knows? Maybe it will.
