Marathon runner dropped dead and lives | News.com.au
A 34-year-old surgical nurse from Coventry Township, Pariso was running the first leg of her team relay when she saw Lindeman leave the street, run onto the footpath and collapse.
"I just thought he tripped on uneven pavement," she said. "I went to him right away, but as soon as I got to him, I saw he hadn't tripped."
Pariso wrestled Lindeman's prone body onto his back and saw he was no longer breathing.
Instinctively, she placed the heel of her palm in his chest and manually pumped his heart.
Other willing Samaritans, all medical professionals who were running that day, stopped to offer help. One applied mouth-to-mouth CPR. Someone called 911. Others began to pray.
