Death at Farmer's Market?

[kikicabell.livejournal.com]

I've heard that some poor man had a heart attack or something on Wednesday at the Farmer's Market - ambulance came. Apparently, he died. I was wondering if this is true and I also was appalled by the responses of people there - apparently people were just walking around him and I can't believe the market wouldn't shut down if something that horrific happened. Does anyone know anything about it?  Thanks.

Let's suppose they were just walking around him while he was receiving assistance or medical attention (someone apparently paid attention at some point if an ambulance came). Again, not appalling.

Not only not appalling, but *appropriate*. The last thing emergency workers need is a crowd of gawking if well-meaning passersby surrounding them, getting in their way, and invading the poor man's privacy.

If, on the other hand, the guy clutched his chest and yelled "oh, the pain" and fell to the ground and nobody rendered assistance or called 911, that's appalling.
