I'd make a tasteless comment here about the body being "still warm", but I won't. Instead I will just lament about how hard it will be for the Chinese olympic swimming team to replace somebody who was supposed to be a great chance to 'medal' in 2021.

wow so much creativity here. just pathetic.

I had to do this on my daughter a month ago. Normal healthy 16 year old and had a cardiac arrest at home.
Agonal gasps, lips turning blue. What an experience.
Luckily I'm an emergency first aider so did enough until the paramedics arrived.

I wonder if she survived all that?

Hmmmm, I must have missed the "hold the victim upside down and shake them" part of my CPR classes..

Gasping and grimacing often occur for a while soon after the arrest and will continue when effective compressions are being delivered. It is NOT an indication of recovery. Continue chest compressions until the person is alert or the EMS arrive. Gasping is a sign compressions are being done properly.

The American Hearth Association has determined that you can not kill somebody by giving them CPR, and they also don't recommend lay rescuers check for pulses. Do a quick Google search and I am sure you will find this information.

The AHA suggests that lay rescuers give compressions only CPR, without any rescue breaths, until EMS arrive.

Even after "respirations are restored" the heart still may not be beating. It's called asphyxial cardiac arrest. CPR can't kill someone.
