Let’s be civil. The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste.

The school is going to lose big on this. The response indicated that no one knew the basic proper first aid methods for such an incident. No one knew how to use the defib, and it wasn’t even on the field as it should have been.
“It can’t happen here” is no substitute for proper training.
Incredibly sad situation.

Heart Defibrillators Available at Discount
In the event of a medical emergency, having an automated external defibrillator (AED) readily available could mean the difference between life-and-death. For information about purchasing safe and easy-to-use AED’s at the best pricing available, individuals are encouraged to contact LifeGuard Medical Solutions or visit them online.
Specializing in providing AED’s to communities, businesses, schools and churches, LifeGuard Medical Solutions was formed as a champion of heart safety in response to the sudden cardiac arrest death of the founder’s father in 1999. Their mission is to raise the public awareness of heart disease and “To Help Save Lives”.
I know how much stress this has caused the family (my family to be exact) and I know that I would not wish that upon anyone, I think Bob and Troy are right to pursue this as it may help to save other football players lives, as well as other sports players in general.
May you rest in ever-long peace Jeff, we miss you, and we will try to help others not fall to the same circumstance.
