Not the best way to start the New Year

[HotelSecurity]

There was just over an hour left in my shift this morning. It was a relatively easy night. We received our 3rd call of the night for medical assistance. My Officer arrives at the room & finds a 30 year old in full cardiac arrest. He had oded on cocaine, heroin & alchol. My guys, the police, fire department first responders & Paramedics worked on him for 30 minutes. CPR was still being preformed as he was wheeled out of the hotel. Was delared dead at the hospital.

Sad. so sad. HS. Somebody has maybe lost a brother, Uncle, son, dad, husband.
There is no reason why this had to happen.

Not to sound heartless but it is the nature of the beast when you work at an hotel . The amount of depravity I have seen working an hotel and told to let it slide has been an gun wrenching , soul searching and often frustrating experience . I am glad I left the industry with my humanity still somewhat intact . Between seeing the overdoses , the fights , the drugs, the pedophiles and the two rapes I stopped I am no longer shocked at what happens at hotels anymore. This is the dark side of doing security and you do what you can do when a crisis happens . HS I feel for you and hope that you can get over this without it permanently effecting you .

This is a direct result of his drug and alcohol abuse . No one gets up one day and does cocaine and heroin together . I would guess to say that this person has been in and out of drug treatment programs for years . More then likely started from a pain pill addiction and spiraled out of control from there. As painful it is to loose a family member to an overdose at least the family can greave and no longer have to watch their loved one slowly kill themselves with self destructive behaviors . In the long run this is going to be for the better.

Thanks. I'm being cold but the death of the looser drug user does not really bother me. I've been doing this 35 years & also did volunteer work as a First Responder. I've seen plently of people die. What bothered me was that the last time my Officer performed CPR was when he got home one day & found his father in cardiac arrest. I'm a little worried about him.

They DID get his CC information at check-in, right?
