When I first starting working, over 30 years ago, I saw a man lying on the ground in Manhattan, in front of a store. I was a young girl at the time and freaked out, I ran into the store and said, “I think there’s a dead man in front of your store.” The man laughed and walked with me outside where the man was laying. He said the man lies there all the time to probably sleep off his hang-over. He told me to watch his chest and see that he’s still breathing. I eventually learned what homeless people are about and they try to lay down in “cozier” areas. If someone is lying in the middle of nowhere and looks descent, I think we can safely assume that EMS or Hatzala should be called. I hope we would all do the right thing under these circumstances.
