PENN YAN €“
Penn Yan Police have identified the man who died last week the roof of
the Walgreen's Drug Store on the corner of Liberty and Elm Streets in
Penn Yan.
Police Chief Mark Hulse reports that Christopher A. Young, 54, of
Farmington, was admitted to the roof of Walgreens by internal access
Tuesday, July 19 to clean the roof drains. There he suffered a heart
related incident and died.
As an independent contractor hired by the Walgreens Corp., Hulse says no
one at the store knew Young's name nor noticed when he did not come down
from the roof. Young's unattended vehicle was later reported to police
who attempted to contact him, but the connection to the man who went up
on the roof was not made until store employees checked the store
security video, and then discovered his body on the roof at 2:10 p.m.
July 22.
Young's name was withheld by police until his family had been notified.
He lived alone with no one to report him missing. Hulse says Young had
only a sister living near him, but it was not unusual for them to be out
of touch for periods of time.
Young's body was removed to Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital where
the post mortem was performed by a local pathologist, Dr. Dean, who
ruled the death to be by natural causes related to the heart.
Local Walgreens store management referred all questions to Walgreens
Corporation Media Relations Dept. personnel, who refused to comment.

Stormy, I know you will be remembered fondly by many members of this group. We will definitely miss you. God bless
you.



Breaks my heart that he had to die alone. I hope
the Lord sent an angle or saint to hold him up.


When I had a heart attack, I was standing in line with a shopping cart full of stuff. I came to on the floor with my head in the lap of a young woman who was patting my face. The store is 2 blocks from a fire station and paramedics. I had a very sore chest when I settled down in the ICU and was told that my heart had stopped in the ambulance. A big paramedic had beat the crap out of my chest to restart my heart. Paramedics saved my life because they were right there treating me within a few minutes of me hitting the floor. I was lucky and if my friend Chris had been on the roof with a helper, he might be online right now posting the story of his close call. 8-(

I had unstable angina and felt that crushing pain. It was not a heart
attack but a 90% blocked artery. I had already diagnosed myself with
angina and was going to speak about it since I had a checkup coming in a
few weeks. When I woke with the pain which I usually felt if I
overexerted myself and told my wife she called an ambulance. Ambulance
said I was OK but I insisted on going to the hospital where they found
slightly elevated cardiac enzymes and cath lab found and stented the
blockage. Been about 7 years with no further problem.

I've known many with heart attacks and it is usually unpleasant but may
not take long to do you in. Something like an aortic aneurysm and its
over in a minute.

It is never a good idea to work alone and if you live alone something
can happen even if you are able bodied.

Chris father died of a heart condition maybe around 70 a year or two
ago. Mine had a stroke but bad kidneys did him in. My cardiologist
pointed out strokes and blocked arteries are both due to blood vessels
being clogged so if your family had these problems, you might too. I'm
on statins for my problem and two of my sons in their 40's are too to be
on the safe side.

I really felt bad about Chris as he was so young and problem might have
been prevented. Group won't be quite the same without him.
