Narrative:

Medical emergency during boarding, resulting in passenger death. Passenger who was on pre-ordered oxygen lost consciousness in his seat. I was notified of the situation by the flight attendant in back. I notified captain, requested an ambulance to come up the aft stairs. I asked the agent to stop boarding. I made a PA for an md to go to the back of the aircraft and also for everyone to clear the aisle. I retrieved our passenger kit and an oxygen walkaround bottle and proceeded back to the passenger who was receiving cpr from an rn and a paramedic (passenger). The paramedics eventually arrived and took the passenger down the aft stairs after performing cpr for approximately 15 mins. The passenger had a pace maker so was not defibrillated.
