The reporting lives at WBIW. Our summary is checked against it, and we link it on every story.
Indiana Conservation Officer Alex Neel heard a dispatch call in Cedar Lake, reached a restaurant where bystanders were already doing CPR, and used an automated external defibrillator, WBIW reported. He delivered shocks. The woman regained consciousness at the scene.
People on scene were already pressing on her chest when he arrived. Neel brought the defibrillator into that work and used it. She woke up before she left the restaurant. The station reported that speed. It did not report a longer hospital course, and this account does not add one.
