Line of Duty Death Kenny Stone

[Mohrenberg]

Thought maybe I would post something here in case anyone is interested in helping out.

Yesterday, while working the scene of a motor vehicle accident, Kenny Stone collapsed after reporting to his co-workers that he was short of breath. Kenny was transported to the local hospital where he went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead after an unsuccessful resuscitation.

Kenny worked for American Paramedical Services as a Paramedic and for AirEvac as a flight medic. He passed away with no insurance and donation are being collected to raise money for his funeral.

I am not operating this fund in any way, just passing along the message.
