When he found his wife lifeless on their bathroom floor, Tony Lucas put his angst and fear aside, called 911 and then began performing CPR.
He was in shock – his mind would not allow him to accept the fact that she was likely already gone – so he pressed on her chest and breathed air into her lungs in a desperate effort to bring her back to life.
"One of the toughest things I've ever experienced," he said, his voice trailing off.
When the EMT crew arrived minutes later, they also began efforts to revive her.
