Amazing video, thanks for posting. Dude puked a lot.
That is an excellent video. The rescuer tried his best. But, he made some mistakes. He should have only compressed the sternum when giving CPR. He wasn't keeping his left hand centered over the right hand. He was supposed to check for a pulse every couple of minutes. I didn't see him check it at all. The contents of the victim's stomach was coming up because he didn't have the head tilted back far enough and was blowing air into the stomach instead of the lungs.
The victim was probably beyond being helped. Even if CPR and rescue breathing could keep him alive a bit longer, the EMS vehicle would have to arrive within minutes and have advanced respiration equipment. That doesn't seem likely to happen.

I agree Snerdy, very unprofessional resuce attempt.
The fact that dude puked is one evidence of that - too much pressue went on the stomach and dude vomitted. They should also have put him sideways so that the puke could free his throat.
Unconscious dudes lose their gag reflex and can easily inhale stomach contents.
Lots of mistake which proved fatal in this case. I believe dude might have been saved if the professional paramedics tried CPR.
