CPR Mannequin’s Tragic Origin

The "Woman of the Seine" refers to an unidentified young woman whose body was recovered from the Seine River in Paris during the late 19th century. Captivated by her serene beauty, a morgue pathologist created a plaster death mask of her face. This mask later became the model for the Resusci Anne CPR mannequin, making her face one of the most kissed in history.
