Feb. 1 should have been the day Rob Newberry died.
It happened within minutes: Newberry, participating in the same team training class at Genesis Health Clubs in Clive he s attended for the last three years, was talking to his trainer about how to improve his mile time on the treadmill.
Then his wife, Dawn, watched him collapse.
At that point, Clive Fire Chief Rick Roe said, Newberry became one of 350,000 a year who suffer sudden cardiac arrest. For some reason, his heart just stops beating, and he’s laying here, Roe said. He has less than a 10% chance of survival at that point.
