Terri Schiavo
On the morning of February 25, 1990, at approximately 5:30 a.m. EST, Schiavo experienced cardiac arrest and collapsed in the hallway of their St. Petersburg apartment. Firefighters and paramedics arriving in response to Michael's 9-1-1 call found her face-down and unconscious in the hallway outside her bathroom. She was not breathing and had no pulse. Attempts were made to resuscitate Schiavo, and she was defibrillated several times while she was transported to the Humana Northside Hospital. There, in order to keep her alive, she was intubated, ventilated, and eventually given a tracheotomy.
