St. Cloud Police Officer Alec Elness recounts the attempts to revive Rich Thies, right, after Thies suffered a heart attack as Tom Martins looks on,  Feb. 7, 2014 at Royal Tire on Roosevelt Road in St. Cloud, Minn.  The intervention that saved Thies' life was quicker, came initially by chance and from a series of strangers, some who do that for a living and others who just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Doctors rarely see a patient survive the "widowmaker" heart attack that Thies had without immediate medical care.  (AP Photo/St. Cloud Times, Kimm Anderson)
