Bystander Saves Man With CPR | Richmond News

A Richmond cyclist’s life was saved by a stranger’s quick thinking—no CPR training needed. Mattias Clause, using the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” as his beat, performed chest compressions for seven minutes until paramedics arrived. Sixty-six-year-old John Jenks was revived after cardiac arrest, reunited with his hero at the ambulance station, and now plans a beach trip with his lifesaver. The story underscores how vital CPR is—90% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are fatal without immediate intervention. Jenks is back on his bike, and anyone can learn life-saving skills through the American Heart Association. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
