Police officers and medics were able to revive an unresponsive man in a Washington parking lot Wednesday after a WPXI news photographer noticed the man slumped over in his car, pulled him out and began CPR before calling 911.
News photographer Dave Clark said as he was preparing for a news segment at 6 p.m., he noticed a man slumped over his steering wheel and not breathing.
Clark pulled the man out of his car and began performing CPR, while WPXI reporter Cara Sapida called 911.
Washington Police Chief Chris Lupino told WPXI that when officers arrived, they took over compressions. He said the man was eventually revived after medics administered a dose of Narcan.
An officer at the scene said if it weren’t for Clark beginning CPR prior to their arrival, the man likely would have died.
Lupino said officers at the scene discovered what they believed to be heroin in the man’s car.
“We have been getting a high amount of overdoses in the last month,” he said.
Lupino said so far they haven’t been able to narrow down the source to a certain stamp bag or dealer.
