EFFORT, Pa. — A young college student working as a medic at a Pennsylvania camp for disabled people died from a series of strokes that her family says was caused by heroic efforts to resuscitate a woman in cardiac arrest.
Samantha Agins, 22, spent more than 30 minutes performing CPR on the stricken camper — an autistic woman in her 40s — but was unable to save her life, her father told NBC News.
Agins then fell ill herself, but paramedics at the scene in the Pocono Mountains and her family initially thought she was simply in shock from the ordeal.
