Washougal brothers give back

Jason Dodge died in his Washougal home during the early morning hours of May 6, 2013, but was brought back to life by Washougal police officers and an automated external defibrillator three minutes later. He awoke from a medically induced coma one week later, diagnosed with sudden cardiac death syndrome. He still has no recollection of what happened to him that night.
