A high school football player in Portland, Oregon, Hayward Demison Jr., had a heart attack during a game and was brought back to life by a cardiac nurse who just happened to be in the stands.
It was Friday night and down to the wire against Canby. The quarterback passed the ball to Demison who ran it in for a touchdown and the win.
Demison said: “It was very intense. People went crazy. They were like oh he’s going, he’s going, he’s gone.â€
Demison’s heart was racing! But his pulse never subsided. In fact it kept getting faster and faster.
He said: “I was like, coach I can’t breath, and I asked him to get my inhaler.â€
“He had been diagnosed with athletes asthma a couple years ago, so we thought maybe he was having an episode,†said Coach Pyne.
NewsOne.com says Demison’s inhaler just made things worse.
