Resident Who Collapsed at Local Park Thanks Strangers Who Helped Save His Life

The 48-year-old was on a run at Rabbit Hill Park when he went into cardiac arrest.

Dacula resident Patrick Spink had three strangers to thank for saving his life after he collapsed during a run last week at Rabbit Hill Park. 

My Fox Atlanta reports those strangers — Sara Bray, a cardiac cath lab RT, Tracey Klein, a nurse, and Bob Place, who knows CPR — kept the 48-year-old's heart beating, taking turns administering CPR, until paramedics arrived. Spink thanked them in person Monday. 

Watch Spink thank his heroes.
