The LifeNet and Ticonderoga communities are heartbroken following the sudden passing of Flight Paramedic Kevin Robert, who died on the evening of August 27, 2025, after experiencing a medical emergency while on duty. Kevin was aboard LifeNet 7-13, alongside a flight nurse and pilot, actively caring for a patient when the emergency occurred.
In an urgent effort to save him, the crew quickly diverted and landed at a nearby hospital while the communications center coordinated emergency resources for both Kevin and the patient.
