In Orlando, Oklahoma: Dover High School student Randy Vitales,16, went into full cardiac arrest during a basketball game. A player on the opposing team, Magnus Miller, immediately knew something was wrong.
“(Vitales) just went to lay up, and I was getting the ball, about to dribble up the court, and I turn around, and he’s on the ground,” Miller, a trained life guard, told ABC5 KOCO-TV.
Miller directed staff how to use an AED and to continue CPR before paramedics arrived.
“There’s no way you were going to die on that court. I wasn’t going to let you,” he todl Vitales after they met at the hospital.
Thank you Magnus for being an EVERYDAY HERO!!!
