An 11-year old in Kentucky is credited with saving a man who fell unconscious in an apartment swimming pool last week.
Seeing that nobody was doing anything about the situation, Avory Woolery took the burden of action upon his shoulders—broad in spirit, if not in size.
“No one was doing anything, so I put on my goggles. I went underwater,” Avory told local news.
“I grabbed him up and I just felt really bad because there was no way that I was going to let another man die today. He’s a human being. He should be treated as such.”
Once Avory had gotten him onto solid ground, a friend, or so Avory supposed, came over and began performing CPR until first responders arrived at someone’s calling.
The man was taken to a local hospital, where WKYT reported he remained in critical condition.
Avory’s father said he was so proud of his son for acting so decisively.
“I’m proud of him. Somebody, when I was walking up here, somebody said, ‘Thank you, you taught him how to swim,’” Mr. Woolery said.
