Forty minutes after his wife Hilary had been found at the bottom of the sea with her scuba breathing regulator dangling alongside her during a family trip to Costa Rica, a physician continued to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on his unresponsive wife. Even rescue workers tried to revive her, but nothing seemed to work. Still, Greenberg did not give up.
