marieadu – All actors and actresses need to know how to do CPR and resuscitation so you can save each other’s life in case of emergency on set. Infact all cooperate firms should train their members on life saving measures and have and AED( defibrillator) in case of cardiac arrest or heart attack. As a health worker I’m so sad and can’t fathom how this will happen and the first thing that crossed their mind was to take them to a shrine. This was a preventable death . Rest on legend!!!!
