Tobias Zhang watched his friend die of cardiac arrest during a basketball tryout at Point Grey Secondary in 2022 .

Zhang says he saw the body of his friend lying on the ground and his skin was turning purple.

AEDs can help — up to a 75-per cent chance to resuscitate someone after they have a cardiac arrest, Zhang said.

Zhang and a group of students are fundraising to purchase an AED and continue to push the district to allow them to install it.

The Vancouver School Board said it has been “actively working” on a plant to deploy AED .
