Yes it was a terrible scene I was on scene this morning when it happened I'm a nurse and I showed up along with another individual before University Police and the local police responded it was very sad
minnesota has good samaritan laws you can’t be held accountable for injury caused by cpr
For all those asking for close-ups and more video, you have to think that they are in the process of notifying next of kin. Be respectful, imagine being a mother or a father. You all know what has happened that should be the end of it for now.
I think its also just gross and weird people would want to see that anyway
Can we all just take one moment of silence for a life that has passed and b4 casting aspirations. You can have your own thoughts but you don’t have to publish them outside the investigation.
Amen
