Mom Installs Defibrillators All Around Town After Son Dies From Cardiac Arrest
On New Year’s Day 2022, 18-year-old Jamie Rees was at a friend’s house, watching fireworks and celebrating the new year, when he suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest. His friends called the ambulance and performed CPR on him in the meantime. They located the nearest defibrillator, which was not too far away, but it was locked away in a school. And police officer that was the first on the scene didn’t have a defibrillator with him.
