Dead Rising 2[]
Sven is found in the One Little Duck Bingo hall, where he is trying to resuscitate a dying man, Tim Duggan. However, he fails to do so and Tim dies under his care. After Chuck Greene arrives, Sven admits that he knew he had failed to save Tim and rebukes himself for being unable to do so. Chuck tells him that there are other survivors in the Safe House who may require his medical expertise, and Sven agrees to follow him back. Although he states that he might not be helpful, but his medical supplies might.
After being brought back to the Safe House, Sven gives Chuck a dose of Zombrex for his use.

In Off the Record, Sven has dragged an injured Tim into an alleyway on the Silver Strip where he tries to save his life. However, Tim dies and Sven is distraught. Frank West is able to convince Sven to follow him as there are other survivors in the Safe House who need help.
