An off-duty nurse said she was "disgusted" to see customers being shown to their tables and orders delivered while paramedics tried desperately to save the man's life. "People stepped over us to get to the kitchen," she said. "They continued to serve food and were stepping over the body.
"I think it's pretty disgusting - the worst part was to see that they were still seating people." The 23-year-old registered nurse said she was dining with her partner when they heard the thud of a body hitting the floor. "He wasn't breathing and I was over there within 10 seconds of him hitting the deck," she said.
She and two other customers administered CPR to the man until St John paramedics arrived 20 minutes later. Restaurant owner Fernanda Ferro said the only food that went out of the kitchen during the drama had already been ordered. Ms Ferro said the restaurant closed an hour early at 10pm.
