INCIDENTS

89-159 - Zion - Life Support Rendered to Employee by Visitor

On June 26th, seasonal fee collector K.S., 51, was working at the
park's south entrance station when he suffered a heart attack. The male
foreign visitor K.S. was dealing with at the time jumped through the
entrance station window, cleared K.S.'s airway, and began mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. He was assisted in his efforts by another visitor, C.K.-M.
of West Germany. Seasonal ranger John Ethridge soon arrived on
scene and continued CPR. K.S. was taken to Dixie Medical Center Hospital
in St. George, Utah, where he remains in intensive care. The name of the
male visitor is still unknown, but it is thought that he was travelling with
C.K.-M.. The park is attempting to find the two visitors in order to
commend them. (Jim Richardson, park ranger, Zion, via CompuServe message
from John Chapman, RAD/RMRO).
