A MAN has died after paramedics from a broken-down ambulance were forced to run almost two blocks to try to revive him in Melbourne's southeast.

You have to give it to the paramedics for their dedication, but it's sad they have to use ambulances with 160k Kms on the clock! Seems as though now it's cost someone their life.
