I did CPR on an elderly man I found having a heart attack in an alley in London. He was conscious when I found him. I called 999 and stayed with him. He "died" in front of me (no pulse, breathing, motion, loss of urine control). I did CPR until the ambulance arrived; I remember the sound of breaking ribs very clearly. They used a defib on him and he survived and until I moved away from the area I'd see him walking around from time to time.
Was a slightly odd feeling seeing him because I literally saw him "stop".
