Massachusetts State Police troopers save life of 91-year old who became unresponsive at restaurant

“The following was posted by the State Police Association of Massachushetts. We are pleased to be able to share it to highlight the life-saving efforts of Troopers Vargas (left) and LaMonte (right).

On a recent evening in Hanover, New Jersey, MSP Troopers LaMonte and Vargas were having dinner at a restaurant after attending an out-of-state training. While the two Troopers were eating, a 91-year-old woman near them became unresponsive. Immediately they jumped into action, running to her aid.

Using their training they checked her breathing and pulse and determined she was in cardiac arrest. Trooper LaMonte with the assistance of Trooper Vargas performed CPR for over 10 minutes while 911 was called and EMS responded to the scene. EMTs quickly arrived and took over care of the woman, and she was transported to Morristown General Hospital.

The two Troopers got word the next morning that the woman was now stable and recovering from her near death scare. Strong work gentlemen!” -Massachusetts State Police.
