Ottawa Paramedics are praising the quick reaction of witnesses who may have saved the life of a man at an Orleans fitness facility this morning.
A 57-year-old man collapsed at the gym while lifting weights.
One of the witnesses, an off duty paramedic, helped to retrieve the defibrillator and applied one shock to the man, which triggered his pulse.
When paramedics arrived a few minutes after they said he was breathing on his own, and he was very alert once he arrived in hospital.
