This is definitely not good:

AP – Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina collapsed during a Washington, D.C., race Wednesday morning and was taken away by ambulance.

Tillis, 57, was seen on the ground being administered CPR by bystanders at about 15-20 minutes into the race, which started at 8 a.m. The three-mile race was being held in Anacostia Park in the southeast part of the city.

Tillis at first appeared unconscious but was revived and breathing when taken away by ambulance from the ACLI Capital Challenge Three Mile Team Race. Tillis was participating in the ACLI Capital Challenge race, an annual event in Anacostia Park in the district. He was leading his own team, “Team Tillis.”

Many politicians and other prominent Washington, D.C., figures run the annual race. Proceeds go to charity.

Many moons ago I used to be an EMT and if someone requires CPR, it generally means they aren’t breathing and their heart isn’t beating, which means they are clinically dead.

Fortunately Tillis was revived, thanks to some great first aid samaritans who knew CPR.

I’ll update more on his status when I get it.
