Watching the man collapse in a heap on the ground from his top floor apartment window at the corner of Creston Avenue and Comox Street, Klausen came out to attend to him which is when he saw he had been shot in the chest area and had an exit wound out of his back. He gave him a towel to try and stop the bleeding when he said the man began gasping for air and then succumbed to his injuries just as the paramedics arrived. He put the man who died as being about 50-years-old.
