Still a bit shook up over it, but at least was able to sleep a few hours after it all went down

Basically ordered some food delivery for lunch earlier today. Wasn't really paying attention to the tracker as I was playing some Dragon's Dogma. Heard a loud crashing sound outside, but didn't think much of it at the time. A minute or two later I looked at the tracking and realized the order was here and that crashing might have been related to that. I open my front door to see the person with my food slouched over on the steps leading up to my apartment. They were unresponsive and not breathing as far as I could tell.

After panicking for another minute I called 911 and they had me roll the person over on their back and give chest compressions until the paramedics could arrive. While doing that I could tell this person was unconscious and IMO possibly already gone. Paramedics took over and couldn't get a pulse and carried them off and the police asked me about what happened.

....and that was it was a pretty surreal experience and I guess you never know when it'll happen to you. Not sure if this person had a heart attack or what and I don't know if I'll ever find out :|

What a way to die. You're delivering food to someone, who hears you keel over, but is too busy playing video games to check on you right away.
azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify

I ordered some food a few months back and based on the tracker, the guy was stopped a few blocks from my place for like an hour so I gave up and cancelled it. In the moment I was irritated but now I'm hoping he's alright

Thanks, but yeah I think I'm okay now. I had a hard time falling asleep earlier (since i'm currently working nights so I sleep in the afternoons), but took some melatonin gummies to help with that.

After the initial panic to actually call 911 I think I stayed pretty calm during the actual call and helping them as best I could.

Also for those wondering after it was all over one of the paramedics handed me my delivery. After letting it sit in my fridge for 2 hours I ended up tossing it because I couldn't bring myself to eat it after what had happened. Was this tarnishing their legacy maybe but I couldn't do it

This is a bad thing. You should have donated it to someone hungry.

Even so, I get the trauma. Sorry you had to go through that... and thoughts and hugs to this person's loved ones, too. Hope they're okay.

I was wondering if you ate the food but it felt wrong to ask!

Jesus, that all sounds very disturbing. Sorry to hear it happened, you really do never know when something crazy like this will happen near you and it sounds like you did the most you could have for the guy.

Mate, that is rough! That kinda shit stays with you. I hope you're doing OK, and I hope for a positive outcome for the driver (if possible)
Well done to azuarc for finishing 67 places above me in the 2020 GOTD Guru Contest!

Oh RIP. I don't really follow my religion nowadays but it's said that people who pass while doing their job (provided it's nothing harmful, of course) get to go to the good place. It's a reassuring thought.

Sorry to hear about this. I'm not sure if this'll make you feel better but at least this person wasn't on the road when this happened, since other people could've been hurt too in that case.

This is actually a good reminder to me that when I take walks or ride my bike, it's good to take my phone with me, in case something like this happens.

I had something similar happen to me at Family Dollar. The lady also passed away, but they revived her long enough to keep her in a coma until her family could come to town. (I actually thought the lady survived at first, since the paramedic came back and said they got her breathing and that she was in a coma, but the lady's daughter came back and said her mother passed)

So what actually happened? You heard a "crash," but were they hit by a car? Did their car hit something? Whatever it was, it didn't catch your attention enough to check immediately (and no, you should not feel guilty about that.)
Only the exceptions can be exceptional.

I'm guessing they fell down on the steps going up to my apartment (if they went into cardiac arrest like I assumed)

I had assumed it was one of the neighbors and didn't bother to check. It was after I noticed it was past when my tracker said the delivery would be and I checked that I saw their little blip on the map was right outside my apartment and not moving

I uh...also did not expect this to end up this way, I didn't think it would not only go this route, but I expected a happier ending

personally I woulda finished the meal. like how you finish a guy's last cigar(ette) or drink. I would have felt so guilty but this probably would've happened no matter what he was doing

I guess they would never tell you if you called the hospital, huh? the Hippocratic stuff and what not

well, Either way, I'm very sorry that had to happen to you and I'm sorry for the guy too
