Is Eric a Hero, or did he mess up everything?

Eric went to five mile pass with his family on 10/28/07 to go four wheeling. While there they noticed a truck parked with a man sleeping in it, but didn’t think anything of it, after about an hour they started to wonder why he was sleeping so weird and why there of all places? Eric’s mom said that they should go and check on him, but they were all having so much fun that no one really wanted to. Finally after two hour of playing on the four wheeler, Eric’s brother decided to go and check on the man in the truck. He came over and told the family that he was covered in vomit and was lying really weird, so he was going to call the police. So Eric and his sister went to see if they could help him. Just as Eric’s brother had said he was covered in vomit and lying weird. Eric tried to open the door and it opened, only to find a whole bunch of empty bottles of sleeping pills. It was obvious that this was a suicide attempt. Eric tried to wake him, but he just moaned, and wouldn’t respond whatsoever. After a few minutes Eric realized that he recognized this vehicle from work. This was Shane, who comes in his truck to pick up supplies.
The police came, and Eric told him everything that they found, along with his family.
The hard part is that after Eric came home he didn’t know whether Shane had lived or died, whether they had saved him in time. Eric told his fellow co-workers about everything that had happened who were also worried. Eric then tried to get as much info as he could about Shane’s condition, which was really hard. He looked for an obituary in the newspaper, contacted friends that have jobs where they could maybe get info for him, but in the end had no luck.
On Tuesday 11/07/07 of this week the answer finally came in a phone call, Shane called Eric on his cell phone. He said that he got the cell phone number from Eric’s boss, but Eric was busy so he only heard a message from Shane asking him to call him back. I immediately told Eric not to call him, because he was going to be mad that Eric saved him. Eric told me that he already had returned his phone call. Apparently he was in the hospital for a week; it took two days for him to wake up with help and drugs from the hospital. Which means he would of never woke up, but because of them he did. He actually wasn’t mad at Eric like I thought that he would have been.
He wants to meet Eric the next time he picks up supplies at Eric’s work. So when Eric actually meets him, I will let you all know what happens, and if he is really mad. Regardless I don’t think any person could of lived with themselves if they didn’t do what they had done for Shane. GOOD LUCK SHANE!!
