Neighbors Save Man’s Life After Massive Heart Attack
A Pennsylvania couple saved their neighbor's life days before his wedding. Chris Favorin suffered a massive heart attack after finishing a home workout. Chris and his fiancée went to their neighbor's home for help. Rachel Mowry and her husband, Christopher, performed non-stop CPR compressions for 14 minutes until he had a pulse. But then the 53-year-old's heart stopped again two minutes later. Miraculously, they brought him back from the dead for a second time.

@Matt M. Good for you, I hope the person lives if ur ever in that situation because I’m sure you panicked and screaming is going to help the person relax and not fear for his life anymore than he already is smh. She actually handled it how she should! Screaming would’ve just made this SO MUCH worse. Don’t you think he was scared And suffering enough? Also, people don’t handle all stressful situations the same. My suggestion to you is, remain CALM if ur in an emergency situation like this. Don’t cause the person more stress so they’ll just roll over and die 🙄
