Found unconscious + cardiac arrest + life support?
He's most likely already gone
When I worked E/R and a patient was brought in in full cardiac arrest, we prepped the morgue.

Sad to hear. Learned some more about him while watching Defiant Ones recently.

Re: Tom Petty in critical condition after cardiac arrest
That sucks.
A sidenote: Watched The Postman a few nights ago where Tom played the "Bridge City Mayor", otherwise nameless...
Postman: I know you. You're... famous.
Bridge City Mayor: I was once... sorta.
Can't get the Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks tune out of my head, I won't name it because it would be kind of tasteless right now, my mind operates strangely.
Definitely gonna miss Tom...

So sad. So many great songs and such a great musical legacy. Heaven's band is certainly getting more and more stacked way too quickly these days...
