I am so happy to see this update from his Instagram.

Watching the situation unfold live was heartbreaking. The fact that they continually showed the medics giving him CPR and using the AED was so crazy.

I’m glad that his teammates did their best to step in and shield him to the best of their abilities while at the same time dealing with such a difficult situation.

My husband had a cardiac arrest in bed next to me. I happened to be awake and reading, but even then I might not have noticed and assumed he was sleeping. But he had a cpap, and the mask was leaking a lot of air so I poked him and told him to adjust his mask. When he didn’t, I pulled it off him, and his lips were blue. I started cpr and called EMS. He spent 10 days in the hospital, the first 48 hours he was unconscious and hypothermic. Ended up with an AICD. I would encourage everyone to learn basic CPR and at least try in a similar situation, as it can save the life of someone you love.

If there's one good thing about this horrible event, it's that apparently first aid courses allover Europe are reporting record interest.
