everydays a school day then here ...

*everyday's a school day when here ...

This ungreat thread could turn into a great one.

They may have thought he was pretending to be dead, they weren't to know, not until  they checked  he was dead.

He could have been one of the undead, yes.

Correct, yes, I don't see a problem. Sentence scans ok. Breathless is a different thing altogther.
There is no word I can think of better than unbreathing.

My quible might be the ", and". Thats what I'd focus on.
I'd suggest it should be , or and, not both.

but how did they discover the man was in his 50s?

ID on him with DOB?

they should have tried to resuscitate him first before going through his wallet.

Possibly he was one of the UNDEAD ?

ununfückingbelievable

Shows what happens when an organization spends millions recruiting undermanagers instead of thousands recruiting sub-editors.

They arrived to discover a man in his 50s unconscious and not breathing, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

I think they should have included more detail.

They arrived to discover a man in his 50s unconscious and not breathing, who was pronounced dead at the scene by an alert woman in her 40s breathing heavily.

they arrived and discovered..

it is better not to use `to discover`
`only to discover` is acceptable in some cases
but in this case `and discovered` is better

was it their purpose to discover a man? no.

there purpose was merely to arrive, after that they would discover whatever happened to be there to discover

bad spelling

is there any time it is ok to use the phrase `to discover`?
no

you might say, to try and discover
or with the intention of discovering
or in the hope of discovering
or by mere chance i discovered
or with perserverence and some good luck we discovered
and others

but not `to discover`

BBC British?

Re "to discover" ; you can certainly say " arrived , only to discover...".

^ quite right, that is what i said.
`only to discover` is acceptable in some cases, including in this case
`and discovered` may be better, but is also acceptable
`to discover` is not

the reason `only to discover` may not be ideal is beause it hints that thay may have been surprised at the discovery...but of course if they had been called out it should not have been a surprise, assuming they were properly trained emergency professionals.

perhaps `only to find` would be better
i starting to doubt that discover is the right word, perhaps not

`and found` is better again,

1)and found a man in his 50s
2)only to find a man in his 50s
3)and discovered a man in his 50s
4)only to discover a man in his 50s
these are acceptable, in order of preference?

to discover is not, for reasons given.

no there would seem to be only 2 acceptable..

1) and found a man
2) and discovered a man

i clicked on a thread on chit chat to discover lfc was up to his usual trick

who would find this sentence unacceptable? perhaps someone who was mad

no swagman i have taken a look around and am pleased to report that only about 87% of the worlds population are mad.
some countries are almost totally insane.

they shall remain nameless

what`s wrong with me? nothing at all, nothing at all.

i dare to say that i am completely fine

it is just today is a rare exception.

do you know it is possible for entire tribes of people to be insane?

how many sane people are left?, i don`t know

we are insane as a society lfc, of that i have no doubt
