Bystanders Who Perform CPR Exponentially Increase Survival Rates – One Atlanta Man Knows

A neighbor’s Nest security camera records Matthew Jadlocki as he leaves for a run through the Morningside neighborhood. Minutes after this image was captured, the 36-year-old teacher went into cardiac arrest. The security camera footage helped police and Jadlocki’s family trace him to Emory University Hospital, where he’d been admitted as a “John Doe.”

Any morning you awake to two police cars outside your bedroom window, it’s safe to say something is wrong.

That’s how the morning of Wednesday, Jan.30 began for me.

An Atlanta Police Department patrol officer was speaking to a woman I’d never seen before. They kept going in and out of Matt’s (my upstairs neighbor’s) condo. Turns out it’s Matt’s sister. And although Matt’s skeptical Jack Russell terrier named Stella was home, Matt was not.
