Marv: To the CPR point... I was referring to the doctor, not the manager. The article said the doctor tried reviving him until the helicopter came. That's what I was referring to. I wasn't talking about the manager at all in that regard.
To the funeral point: There's a huge difference between blind sympathy (some relative or whomever making something up to comfort you), and outright lying from someone "official". He put himself in an official capacity to speak on the events that occurred, and issued a public statement that I felt was very irresponsible, because it was such a blatant mistruth. This is hardly the same thing as someone coming up and offering sincere condolences that happen to be a bit more optimistic than reality would allow.
I don't know why this is such a big deal. All I said was he was being very irresponsible in lying like that. As manager, and in front of press in that professional capacity, he issued a statement that contained an obvious falsehood. It's irresponsible. And I called him a douchebag for it- which, honestly, I almost never use that word because I find it tasteless, but I found him to be tasteless so it worked out.
