Shot 03/29/2011. CAMP VERDE, Arizona (CNN) -- A former events coordinator for a company owned by self-help guru James Ray testified Wednesday about the "wild scene" where people became ill during a 2009 sweat lodge ceremony that left three participants dead. Melinda Martin, at the time an employee of James Ray International, testified she gave CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Kirby Brown, 38, of Westtown, New York, one of the three victims. Some participants came out of the heated lodge as early as the first round, Martin said. At least one later vomited and screamed, "I don't want to die." Martin, now a real estate professional in New York, testified a colleague told her the agitated behavior shown by the participants was "normal" for such an intense event. Ray is accused of manslaughter in the deaths of three persons at his October 2009 "Spiritual Warrior" retreat in the desert. James Shore, 40, of Milwaukee; and volunteer Lizbeth Marie Neuman, 49, of Prior Lake, Minnesota, also died. At least 15 others who took part in the sweat lodge ceremony became ill. More than 40 others were uninjured. Defense lawyers have argued that the deaths were accidental.
