I'm not coming to the aid of the massuse at all here, but it was my understanding Heath had already gone by the time she got there? Am I wrong? lord I hope so! Because if he was still alive and she wasted precious time calling someone other than 911 or a doctor..... well, to put it as nice as possible, she should be brought up on charges! >:(

I'm thinking a charge of involuntary manslaughter would be appropriate.

I think it's very lovely. Simple, eloquent.
Dignified.

It sounds like she was trying to do what she thought was the right thing. It probably wasn't, but it was a high-pressure situation. I feel for her, with people all over the world practically blaming her for murdering the man.
Now Mary-Kate is a different story. Can't say I feel too sorry for her.

How's that old saying go, "The road to Hell is strewn with good intentions." If she was a masseuse, shouldn't she have known CPR? I can't get my head around the enormity of the repercussions of her inaction right now. In fact, to be very honest, I am feeling an extremely heightened level of hostility towards her. Forgive me. Can't help it.

I also think it,s terrible having pics of Heath being taken from his apartment in a body bag, plastered all over the internet/papers for the world to see. To these newspapers, it,s just another story. To his family, friends and millions of people all loved him it,s just heartbreaking. I think the tabloid press are all parasites anyway. (I know Heath hated them too) As soon as the paramedics brought his body out, the cameras were flashing. And I still think it,s appalling that this woman didn,t call 911 first. He may or may not have been dead when she made those calls, but surely, if you find someone unconcious, your first instinct is to call an ambulance? As we,ve said, we,ll never know if it would have made any difference or not, BUT she still should have called them first and worried about the damn friend later. Poor Heath. :'(

I work in a large hospital where very sick people come for treatment. Occasionally, they do not respond to that treatment and they die. Their bodies then have to be transported from the ward/theatres where they died to the morgue in the basement. Though there are special service elevators to do this, the body still has to be wheeled though a public ward area to get to that elevator. In order to negate any distress at seeing a body being wheeled out of a ward in a plastic bag, we use specially designed trolleys with short sides on all four sides and a cloth cover draped over it. So all that's seen is a cloth covered, box-shaped trolley. There is no body shape visible. Why can't this sort of item be used by the emergency services? I will be haunted by the sight of Heath's body bag for ever now. Image how his family felt, seeing that on the media.
