A montreal man, lay dying on a train platform for 16 minutes before anyone did anything. This happens with the bystander effect, I get it, but this is certainly an extreme case, as you had;
- 40 people pass by
- 3 metro drivers pass by
- first responders were captured waiting three minutes before CPR was attempted
Just a terrible situation all around, too bad we couldn't punt Montreal into another country. Brutal.

When first responders finally arrived, he was deprived of oxygen for another three minutes before anyone made an effort to breathe life back into his body. He died in hospital at 4:21 a.m. on Jan. 17, 2014.

The coroner’s report into Mr. Hebrich’s death, published in December and first obtained by La Presse this week, is difficult to read and lays partial blame for his demise squarely at the feet of his fellow Montrealers.
“At the end of the day, there are not many positive things to write about this rescue attempt,” says coroner Jacques Ramsay, making little effort to hide his dismay. “The indifference of the passengers says a lot about the apathy of citizens.”
