Really it should take a few seconds once you have the broker. My guess is that this is not where the delay occurred?

It's worth mentally rehearsing (and knowing all the pertinent information of course) how to manually close a position.

Sorry for your friends loss but on the positive side there's a lot of valuable lessons there.
