According to Christopher Turner, superintendent of the St. John Ambulance Youth Brigade, no one who was around when Kroffat died knew how to do CPR, and no AED was readily available.

“The silver lining is they found the heart condition that caused it to happen and his twin brother’s life has been saved,” Turner said.

Getting help to someone quickly makes all the difference, he added.

“The instant someone collapses, the sooner you can get quality CPR going, the chances go up to 95 per cent of surviving a heart attack. It’s even better with an AED.”
