Also, his story is (hopefully) going to make a great book.

He remained dead for about 45 minutes, while teams repeatedly administered CPR and hooked him up to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine, she said. In that process, blood is pumped outside of the body to a heart-lung machine that removes carbon dioxide and sends oxygen-filled blood back to tissues in the body. |
Great job by SAR and Harborview miracle workers! |
From the Times article you cited, it sounds like he is a pretty great guy; caring and generous. I am glad he made it.
