Dave Brown Hospitalized

Thirty year mailer Dave Brown suffered a massive heart attack a few minutes after beginning his shift this morning at the Los Angeles Times Olympic Facility. Thanks to his quick thinking colleagues Dave survived this life-threatening ordeal.

Fellow mailer Ron Young administered CPR to Dave as Mike Becerra called 911, while machinist Chuck Lee retrieved the heart defibrillator. When Chuck arrived in the mailroom Dave was in full cardiac arrest, but was revived after the third jolt from the defibrillator.

Linda Olmeda rode in the ambulance with Dave to the hospital and contacted his wife and daughters, whom are at his side at White Memorial Hospital at this time.

Special thanks to everyone invovled in saving a colleagues life this morning.
