Auckland Park Mysterious Death – Desperate 40-Minute CPR After Finding Immovable Body

A man found dead in an Auckland park appeared to have slipped while climbing a steep embankment, landing his chin first on the ground.

However, Rhys Davies, a professional artist known as Rhysasaurous Rex, says he now suspects that Raymond Luo was probably already dead when he found his body in Albert Park last week and performed a marathon CPR effort to try and save him.

Davies, a Queens Scout medal winner when he was younger, says he was walking his dog when he found Luo face down and his cell phone face up.

“I just saw him laying there … I could see he wasn’t breathing so I started the ABC [airways, breathing, circulation] and he had none of those things.

“I guess at that point I realized it possibly had happened, he didn’t seem to respond.”

He began with CPR and then beckoned to a man running through the park for help.

Then he noticed a police car passing by and chased after him, letting the runner do the compressions.

Davies continued with CPR as the runner headed to a nearby hotel to grab a defibrillator, while St John’s staff arrived 30 to 40 minutes later.

An avid hog hunter, Davies said it looked like Luo was probably using Google Maps on his phone to take a shortcut through the park and head to the Supreme Court to serve as a jury.

As for what happened, he said that it appeared to be a tragic accident in which Luo slipped while walking down the steep bank and landed hard on his chin, as Davies noticed that his mouth was full of dirt when he started doing CPR. .

“He was going up a very steep hill … I could see where he had put his foot and his left hand was nestled behind his back and he had dropped his cell phone on his back which was obviously on the left side of his body and his chin they had hit the ground and slid about 3 1/2 inches down the hill.

“The way he fell, his right leg had slipped, suggesting that he was probably on the phone trying to find the Superior Court. For a reason that doesn’t make sense, he decided not to go up two concrete paths, and instead climb a grassy hill. “

There were no rocks where Luo was found, and Davies said that his chin had felt the full force of his fall, probably causing some kind of fatal head injury.

He said that Luo’s death had hit him particularly hard and ended up meeting his father and his widow and showing them the scene.

He also attended Luo’s funeral on the North Shore on Monday.

Yesterday was his birthday.

Now, she wanted to try to help the family as much as she could, as Luo’s wife Flora now had to raise her 2-year-1-month-old children alone.

Dr. Jacky Lam helped create a Give away a small page to help support the family.

The fundraiser was currently at $ 37,895.

Lam previously told the Herald the couple first met in Tianjin, China. They were married about three years ago before moving to New Zealand.

Flora has a partner visa that is linked to Luo, and she was concerned that her death could mean that she would not obtain permanent residence.

Their two children were born in New Zealand, but Lam said they were unable to access any support from Work and Income NZ due to their mother’s visa status.

“Now they are looking to get ministerial help, and also possibly expedite Flora’s application so that she can be certain that she can stay and take care of her children.”

Fortunately, Luo had mortgage insurance, however, the funds raised from Givealittle would still help pay for the costs, as he was the main breadwinner for the family.

He had a business buying and supplying mosquito nets for homes.

Davies said Flora “was a mess.”

“She absolutely loved Raymond, they were high school sweethearts. They were planning his birthday yesterday and the day before was his funeral.

“It is awful.”

The police are investigating Luo’s death on behalf of the coroner. It was not considered suspicious.
