“She was hysterical, yelling, ‘He wasn’t breathing, he’s not breathing,'” Twigg said.
Twigg said he rushed over to help.
“I went down there, he was lying there in a pool of blood and my first reaction was to help him,” he said. “I felt for a pulse – no pulse, no breath… so that’s when 911 was telling me what to do… I tried CPR until the paramedics came and they took over.”
Police have not released the name of the deceased man.
