Just heard from Phil's aunt that he had suffered some kind of attack and needs our prayers

Must have had some significant family history.
Most likely if he is on a vent they are trying to cool his body to minimize tissue damage to the heart and probably also on a balloon pump. And then will gradually warm him later to check his heart function.
Cpr for an hour and a half before taking him to the hospital? That just doesn't seem right to me.They are. They were on a coaches retreat and he had the heart attack while in a canoe. He fell in the river and went under water for sometime. They're worried about brain damage and pneumonia as well. They had to do CPR for an hour and a half before they got him to a hospital. Haven't heard any updates really, but did hear it doesn't look too good. Hopefully something has changed for the good since the last update I heard about.

If it wasnt heart, hopefully it wasnt a stroke.The duration of CPR is correct. My wife received a text this morning saying the doctors have found no damage to the heart. They will now start the process of evaluating the brain. Lets continue to hope and pray for a full recovery. Phil had a heart procedure done years ago and was on heart medication.

Good taste might suggest keeping tabs on Charlotte Athletics Twitter account, and suspending speculation.
Could have been tachycardia or even bradycardia. Both can make you pass out. Either way it sounds like it happened in the wrong place at the wrong time if he fell in the water. He probably aspirated on the water which leads to a whole new set of problems like aspiration pneumonia. Had this been on land he likely would have been ok.
