CPR would be my immediate response. Get another person to call the ambulance and continue resusitating the person until proper medical help comes.
I'll also check for other injuries involve but be careful not to move any limp.

my initial reaction would be depending on who or why that person died,if it was someone i don't know someone who's just walking down the street and then suddenly was hit by a car i would be shocked,i would feel sorry for him and his families lost,.if it was a friend stabbed in a fight defending me i would definitely be scared out of my mind,i would panic,scream and cry for help, if he or she was family who died coz of a heart attack,stabbed defending me or was just crossing the street and was suddenly hit by a car,. I'd definitely be crying senseless at that very moment he took his last breath,...

After the obvious situation managment, talk it over - tell someone - again and again. That seemed to work when a work mate died in an explosion a few feet away.

Contact the authorities and wait there for them to arrive. Your question contains a fallacy though, how would the onlooker know for sure the person was dead. Death is often diffulcult even for physicians to diagnose. Were attempts made to revive the person?

That really did happen to me it was my father. It is something that you never expect to happen. The best thing I believe is to try to understand the reasons or how it happened. Ti tell yourself that You have no reason to blame yourself. The main thing would be to talk to a pro either through a Hotline or even someone very close to you.

Well So long as it is not a violent death arising out of accidents , murder, etc I have been a social worker who had helped in cremation of the body by assisting the bereaved family and collecting all well wisheres of the dead person.

I worked at a group home with handicapped kids, and twice 2 of the residents did die in front of me (and others too, including the parnets)
You just do what you think is right. I talked with the parents, comforted the kid(s) and did what I was told by my boss. It was hard, but we all got thru it.

When my wife died I called 911. They took it from there, making sure all the right people (coroner, medical examiner, etc.) got there with them. They can also put you in contact with grief counselors and whoever else you may need help from.

I was holding my dad's hand and reading him a children's prayer when he died. It was an expected death, very peaceful, almost joyful death. His suffering was ended, and all that I feared about death disapeared with his death. I can't say I've experienced anything like it ... and I don't expect to ever again!!!
