6/14/2005 4:56:00 PM
Two Comcast Corp. technicians helped to save the life of a drowning
10-year-old boy in Des Moines, Wash., Monday, the Seattle Times
reported.
Technicians Ryan Thornhill and Todd Hickam were driving by an apartment
complex and heard a woman screaming for help, the Times reported. They
stopped and discovered the unconscious boy at the bottom of a swimming
pool.
Hickam -- who jumped into the pool to save the boy -- told the Times,
"The child was not breathing, and we called 911, and Ryan gave him CPR
really quick, and he responded."
The Des Moines Fire District received a call at 12:26 p.m. of a
near-drowning at the pool, Fire Chief Jim Polhamus told the newspaper,
adding that crews arrived at 12:29 p.m. and found the boy out of the
pool, with a pulse and breathing.
The boy, who wasn't identified, was in critical but stable condition at
Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center in Seattle, a fire
official told the Times, adding that it was not clear how long he was
underwater.
