Retired NYPD Officer Anthony Barresi collapsed due to cardiac arrest in the Cayman Islands shortly before his departure. His wife, Nicole, performed CPR while their children sought help. He was then transported by ambulance to an emergency room, where doctors stabilized him for subsequent treatment. Barresi was airlifted to Florida and later to a Pennsylvania facility for a second surgery. There, he required a wound vacuum, and surgeons implanted devices to assist his heart function. Barresi is now hospitalized, focusing on recovery.
"I started sweating profusely on the balcony, and I called my wife over. She got me inside, and that's when I collapsed and started going into cardiac arrest. She had to resuscitate me."
"I was in cardiac arrest the whole time... being in excruciating pain. Then after that, I don't remember anything. I don't even remember being in the ER."
