Here's just 1 excerpt of a female stranger holding a guys hand as he took his last breath.  She then stayed with him until his phone ring; passing the news of his death to the guys mom and long term girlfriend


Jordan McIldoon, a 25-year-old from Maple Ridge, British Columbia, died holding the hand of a stranger at the concert.


Heather Gooze told CNN she somehow ended up next to McIldoon, and, even though she didn't know him, she held his hand during his final minutes. She felt a squeeze from his fingers, then felt his hand go loose.

Gooze knew there was nothing more to do, she said, yet she stayed with McIldoon for hours. When his phone rang, she answered it and learned his name -- and said everything was not OK, she recalled.

Then, Gooze relayed the news of his death by phone to his long-term girlfriend and his mother, she said, all the while staying by his side.
"I didn't want Jordan to not have somebody with him," she told CNN through tears. "I didn't want him to just be a no-named body. I knew who he was, and now I had an obligation to make sure that everyone knew who he was."


... this is Jordan ...

It's a tragedy. A damn tragedy. This sort of thing really makes the saying, "we have no promise of tomorrow" hit home. All of these folks were at the concert celebrating one thing or another and having a good time and the next thing that happens is they're gone. For good. It's just a shame. And there is nothing that will make sense for their families and friends, nothing to comfort them other than the idea that they died doing something they enjoyed with people they cared about.
