"wonder why that comes to mind." - the first thing to fill that vast empty space probably.

Who picked up his bar tab? A police baton toy? How long did it take for medics to arrive to perform CPR?  Was CPR started before their arrival?

 

i wonder if they continued music/dancing and moved him outside for some fresh air?  Ok polluted air? Would be interested to know if atmosphere changed or the show must go on feeling?

 

The second paragraph raises a very relevant question which no-one else has. I wonder if there will be a fear of his ghost there now. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the dancers moved elsewhere.

RIP , but not the way I want to go. 

 

First of all I want to live healthy to avoid an early exit.  Then I could exit during sex I suppose, but if I end up in the news that might not be a good idea.  Maybe better to find a remote island paradise and have some fun with the locals. 

  

 

Dad always said he wanted to exit being shoot by a jealous husband, crawling out the bedroom window. Alas, died of a heart attack in his sleep.

Nice death while watching naked girls.

Just while <deleted> could be better.

I wonder how long it took the medics to arrive and if anyone else tried to keep him alive in the interim.

These days, if you keel over in a public place, it's not unreasonable to expect some around you to try to keep the heart muscle working until professional help arrives.

Perhaps that's asking too much in a country of gawkers, Facebook posters and purveyors of hilarious one-liners on internet forums. 

According to a report on stickboy website, the customers and staff were ushered outside when the deceased collapsed, from what appears to be a heart attack. It seems CPR was only performed when the medical team arrived. 

In this day and age, many people (especially foreigners) are trained in CPR; why wait for medics to arrive?

 

RIP

I think 60's is, as you say,  "not-so-old chap" but  for a full life it's pretty good.

Why do the British love going to gogo bars which more often than not are staffed by ladyboys in bikinis holding a dildo in their hand?
You're about 30 years too late if you're after pretty girls in  the notorious 'katoey' hovels like Cowboy,Nana and Patpong.
I think the poor Brit who died really didnt know what was going on:passifier:

There's only one ladyboy bar on Cowboy, so unless it happened in Cockatoo, you're way off.

RIP. If you have to go why not enjoy it?

[rascalman]

Suppose in his mind that was great?

I think Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones had the best line on how and when he wanted to die.

Sad he died so early but better than being hooked to a bunch of tubes for 10 years.

No mention of the time in the OP it could have been close to closing.

[hotchilli]

Better than under the wheels of a truck !!!

[tifino]

... and projecting the image of a Nerf foam toy must surely be better (for the oldies' Scotomas)

than the silicon and flesh ones - when it comes to the Eulogy...

Looks like CPR was wanting. Hear comes the decree” AED’s will now be a standard fixture on the bars “ . 

RIP chum. 

[British Bulldog]

I have said that to my mates over here elgenon , at 71 who knows how much longer there is but after all the best of times in LoS  I too would rather just keel over then have folk visiting me in hospital attached to tubes ......even for just 2 weeks never mind 10 years eh.

Exit during sex

 

What a nice idea for your partner...

What would you think if a partner what exiting during sex? Fancy to make love with a dead? Explore a New experience. Oh my Budha... selfish bi..h...

Word on the street is that he (drunkenly) tripped over and smashed his head on the floor; no heart attack.

And another post here says that the place was cleared inside before the medics came. Who knows unless they were there. Everyone has a different story it seems.

He was lucky to go so easy,  hope I can go that easy when the time comes .
