The life of a Winnipeg man was saved with the help of strangers who performed CPR. The man had the chance to say thank you to two of the people who quickly rushed to his side when his heart ceased to beat while jogging.
Timely intervention with CPR
The 62-year old collapsed on a Wellington Crescent sidewalk and would have died if not for the strangers who helped him and performed CPR.
The so-called “angel” turned out to be at least four Good Samaritans along with paramedics and other medical staff who brought him back to life.
