Nurse Recalls Krystle Campbell's Death

The nurse who cared for Krystle Campbell Monday in the Boston Marathon medical tent told CNN that she didn’t die alone and didn’t suffer long.

“We did everything we could to save her, but her wounds were too great,” Stephen Segatore, who works in the intensive care unit at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, told the cable news station.

Campbell, a 29-year-old Medford native who most recently lived in Arlington was one of three people killed in Monday’s bombing at the marathon.

Segatore said that when EMTs carried Campbell into the tent, he was struck by “her beauty, her youth and her bright blue eye shadow,” according to the report. She reminded him of his oldest daughter, he said.

He told CNN that Campbell was not breathing and unconscious when she arrived. He said he still told her that he was a nurse and would take good care of her, according to the report.

Segatore said he, an EMT and a physician treated Campbell and gave her CPR for 10 minutes until the physician called her death.

“The three of us who were working on her let out an expletive, a scream,” he said in the interview.

Segatore told CNN he would like to meet Campbell’s parents to comfort them.
