Troopers, EMT Rescue Heart Attack Victim

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - A life may have been saved thanks to a group of Indiana State Police troopers and a Lawrenceburg EMT who were in the right place at the right time.

 

Last Saturday evening, Trooper Kyle Stovall came upon a vehicle stopped on U.S. 50 near State Road 48 in Lawrenceburg.

 

It wasn’t a crash. Rather, 71-year-old Darrell Waller, of Sunman, was unconscious experiencing a possible heart attack inside the vehicle.

 

Three more troopers – Cameron McCreary, Brian Earls, and Brent Miller – arrived at the scene along with off-duty Lawrenceburg EMT Casey Nanz.

 

After Stovall broke a window to unlock the door, McCreary checked Waller’s vitals. He had no pulse and was not breathing.

 

Waller was taken out of the vehicle. Nanz began to perform CPR as the troopers fetched a defibrillator from one of their cruisers.

 

Two shocks were applied. A Lawrenceburg EMC ambulance arrived and used a second defibrillator to apply three more shocks to Waller, who began breathing and regained his pulse.

 

Waller was taken to Dearborn County Hospital in Lawrenceburg, then later transferred to University Hospital in Cincinnati where he remained in critical but stable condition as of Wednesday.
