Cop Turns Double-Hero After Elderly Couple Collapses
Published: August 22, 2007
Annapolis’s annual 4th of July parade got off to a scary start Wednesday when an elderly couple collapsed with life-threatening health problems.
Fortunately, thanks to a nearby police officer, some good Samaritans, and some quick thinking, everything turned out well.
Homer and Lillian Hack were waiting for the parade to start, when the 78-year-old Mr. Hack began exhibiting symptoms of a stroke. Officer Pierre Pyle was alerted to the problem and radioed for an ambulance.
While they waited for the ambulance, Mrs. Hack also collapsed from an apparent heart attack. Pyle called for a second ambulance and began administering CPR with the help of a citizen from the crowd.
As luck would have it, there were firefighters, paramedics, and ambulances lined up for the parade a few blocks away. They arrived to help in just minutes.
The Hacks are in stable condition in the hospital. Officer Pyle even paid them a visit and they thanked him in person.
