SUN missed a few facts

Posted on April 3, 2009 by | Leave a comment

“Lowell man is “hero” at fitness club pool”

SUN did get that part of the story correct…but Ricky did not just “happen” upon the man in the pool. Eleni Zhodi was in the pool when the man wandered into the deep end did not come back up. Eleni called for help; Ricky was in the sauna and pulled off his earphones to find out what the commotion was about…and alas, he is a hero! He pulled the man from the pool and administered CPR. Yeah!!!

see the story on Channel 5 www.thebostonchannel.com
