AEDs moved to Theatre Lawrence after life saving CPR
Jake Leet collapsed on stage during a December 21 Shrek production at Theatre Lawrence. Medical staff in the audience performed CPR until an ambulance arrived, and a doctor requested an AED which the venue lacked. Leet survived a heart attack from Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and now advocates for AEDs to aid quick response in public venues.
