A good friend of my family died today, not even 100 meters away from our house. He had already 2 strokes and it seems these was his 3rd, but we are not sure yet. I just came to the scene when the ambulance and the emergency medic already had arrived. First I only noticed his dog and asked the medics if I could come closer since I believed to know the man. And as I came closer, it was him. At least this allowed the cops to inform his family since he hadn't his papers with him and by me they could find out who he was. But there is one thing that terribly hurts me: I planned to leave for town center 30 min earlier, but decided to clear some open questions belonging my studies first. If I had left as I planned, I perhaps would have been able to find him earlier and help him. That's one thing that is really chewing on me, to not know if I could have saved him by just leaving earlier...
He was a fine guy, always greeting when you met him, always friendly... he will be missed painfully.
