Alderman Willie Cochran “responsive” after collapsing during hearing
Alderman Willie Cochran is “responsive” after collapsing during a Chicago Police Department budget hearing at City Hall Thursday. Several alderman performed CPR on Cochran, who was taken out on a stretcher by paramedics. “He was kind of contorted, so we just checked for a pulse, opened an airway and gave him some compressions because we weren’t feeling a real good pulse,” alderman Pat O’Connor said. “A police officer was involved as well, and he came back, which was great. I’m happy, and it’s over, hopefully.” [Tribune]
