Re: Heath Ledger found dead.
What I don't get is why anyone would call MaryKate if they found someone unresponsive. Why not call 911? Did she check a pulse and listen for breathing? CPR is easy. The American Red Cross changed CPR to look, listen and feel (airway, breathing, circulation) No breathing-give rescue breaths-2. No pulse (check the carotid-the body always wants to save the most vital parts-the brain and the heart. Personally, I check both carotids because some adults have clogged arteries limiting bloodflow) Compressions have been changed from 15 to 30 recently. Blood circulation to the brain is so important. The brain will start dying after a good 5 minutes with no circulation. If its a really cold environment the survival rate is higher.
