Ryan Arnold's heart stopped after a softball struck him in the chest one year ago Wednesday, and he spent days in a coma. Multimedia
Arnold was lucky. Off-duty nurses performed CPR and emergency services responded quickly. But one year later, Stewart Park still doesn't have a defibrillator. "The chances are so good that it could happen again," said Arnold, "something needs to be done to have it out there."
The electronic device resets the heart's natural rythym after cardiac arrest. Arnold said he's shocked the park is still without one.
