At approximately 12:30 pm on 3/22 my husband and I came upon a gentleman that was collapsed and unconscious on the bench next to the golf cart path at 466A & Canal street. A few people were already stopped and calling 911 as we pulled up. We lowered the gentleman to the ground and my husband began to administer CPR before the paramedics arrived. We do not know who the man was or if he survived what appeared to be a heart attack. If anyone knows who this gentleman is or his condition please let us know. We are keeping him and his family in our thoughts and prayers!!

I will keep this man and his family in my thoughts and prayers and I hope he is ok. Thank you and your husband for your act of kindness.

I hope we're able to find out his condition. We stopped by the fire department but all they could tell us was that he had a pulse when they arrived at the hospital.

Bless you and all the others who stopped to help! Praying that this man is okay.

Praying for all involved.

He is in my thoughts and prayers. Bless you for stopping and trying to help. You are true Villagers, that is what this community is all about and why I chose to move here.

I agree. I feel so bad for him, he was all alone in his hour of need and yet our wonderful community stopped to help him. I pray he is okay.

Ironically we were recently at a Sanibel meeting to discuss the installation of AED machines throughout the neighborhood as well as CPR training. Today's events are certainly a testament to the importance of everyone learning CPR. We were just driving by on our way to the golf course. You never know when or where you'll need life saving skills!

Anyone have any news?

Someone asked me if the man was driving a golf cart. He was not. It appears he was walking along the path and sat down on the bench. Maybe this bit of information can help to find out who he is and if he survived.

God bless you both and the other people who chose to step up and help.

I do not know the gentleman but THANK YOU for stopping and helping.
We have the AED's in our neighborhood and it is a very good program.

We were there yesterday too. When we went to Colony he wasn't around at that time. On our way back about 30 minutes later was when we saw him and the people doing CPR. We have also wondered what happened to him?
He was wearing a wedding band and I was very concerned if his spouse was at home waiting for him. Thank God we live in a place where people stop and help each other.

I hope he made it. You and your husband are good people.

This incident is a reminder to have ID with us when we go out walking or exercising. It would be horrible to have something happen and not have our loved ones with us.
